Really?   ;-?  (See query and discussion below.)

Well that's grand! But (and sorry to harp on about this) something
still doesn't tie in, so maybe worth double-checking to avoid possible
future problems?

If you're running VirtualRPC-AdjustSA, you should have only the ONE
Ram bank in the ARM 7500 Model file (as illustrated on p22 of the
VirtualRPC In Use booklet; noting the word "Adjust" in the [Rom]
filename line). If so, I presume you've set the single Ram bank to
256MB and the underlying RISC OS is v4.39.

However, if you have TWO Ram banks (as illustrated above and on p23 of
the booklet), that implies you are actually running VirtualRPC-SA, so
the underlying RISC OS is v4.02.

Either way, in the Tasks window, and under <System memory allocation>,
the Total RAM should be reading 262144K or similar.

With your 24-bit display of 2560 x 1600 pixels, the <Screen memory>
will probably be in the range14000-15000K (depending on your
particular monitor MDF). HTH.
