Deano, I see what you mean, thanks for clearing that up.

The demo is a bad example, lots of uncompressed stuff with things higher res than they need to be and we had restricted visuals (no real level shown). But saying that we used about 200Mb, a hefty portion of that was because we don't any normal map compression yet.

Ah, gotcha. Thanks.

Are you expecting something like say...3Dc to use? It's not an ATi only thing if I recall. I'd ask if you were expecting something better, but somehow I don't think you'd respond to that if you had the answer. Although, even with 3Dc, up to 4:1 compression... You guys will have a pretty clean looking game!

....I've once heard of an app that used 15MB of main memory for just strings...

on a PS2...

That is what I remember from some very old thread.
