I already set this one for the full 4mb. Never get this ENV-variable. It
says that it is 1mb for multimedia purposes, like Texture and Video
overlay. But do only special applications use this? Or is it done by CGFX?
I never got a clear picture of this and so I turned it off.

Well I must say that 1024x768 is just better working... Don't want to go
back to 800x600.
When I had my 030/25 I just had to use 800x600. But now with my 060/50 I
WANT to use 1024x768 :)

I always use that option, when I open different screens my browser crasheh
much more often. That's a really good option from IB. To bad it still
crashes to often here :(

Well I have 80 MB fast atm and never drop under the 50 MB fast. And when it
does, I do a Avail FLush and a Images flush within the browser...
