Yes, it's a Z2 card... The screen resolution I am using for IBrowse is currently 1152x900x16bit, which I assume would be chewing up a fair chunk of memory!)

If I have for example, 3 Browser windows open on IBrowse, would each of them be using a chunk of 1152x900x16 memory space? How about the "tab" windows in IBrowse (say I have 2 in each of the browser windows)???

I'll try playing around with the priority.. I already increased the MISO buffer to 50MB and reduced burn speed down from 6X to 4X...

Thanks for your help, Neil.
