Ok yeah, I'm seeing some other posts talking about a 64 MB max. Its unfortunate if that is really the case, because my game seems to need a little more :(. Well, if anyone knows a way to lift THIS limit, please let me know. I kinda thought dosbox could at least do 32-bit, but sounds like not? I know …

Thats unhelpful @gdjacobs. I know what the difference between RAM and disk storage is. On planet earth, the word 'memory' usually refers to RAM. There is no indication in the dosbox.conf that 'memory' actually refers to disk storage, are you saying that is the case with the 'memsize' variable?
