 BB> 196 megs been scanned in depth with two different programs.

ramtest86 is an really extensive Linux based system.
Version 3.0 scans up to 6 Gig of memory.
I ran this program overnight, and it runs entirely in RAM,
to do a comprehensive tst.

 196 Meg should be more than adaquate but that's an odd amount of memory.
 A quick check show 192 Meg to be the closest number to be
 equally divisible by 16.
 How did you arrive at 196 Meg?
