VirtualRPC does not like more than 256MB RAM ?

Hi,
I was trying to increase the amount of RAM allocated to VirtualRPC-Adjust today and it seems to crash if I allocate more than 256MB.
This is not the end of the world for me, but I thought I'd mention the problem.
I have 2GB in the PC, so that should be sufficient to spare at least 512MB for VRPC, although 1GB would be even nicer :wink:

Cheers!

You need to remember that VRPC behaves like a real RiscPC in terms of memory handling. So the maximum it can support is 256Mb, the same as a real RiscPC.

Yes I'd forgotten that, although I thought it was the OS4.0x that had that limit.
With a Kinetic and RISC OS 4.39, you can have more than 256MB RAM.
Having said that, I now realise that VRPC doesn't emulate the Kinetic card

Cheers!
