I dont know, but that is the reason you need to use the task manager to make
sure the hash is changing correctly. It does, i know that. But when you go
higher than it will go there is always the possibility that it will say you are
at 256mb, for instance, and it may actually still be lower, because it wont go
that high. The task manager will tell you if it is actually going that high. Got
it?   Regards, George
