well yeah... that's probably true.. i do believe that 2.0.36 actually will/does do autodetecting in the prereleases.. i am not sure though because well, i don't have > 64 mb of ram... sorry for being confusing.. i will avoid it if possible next time... and true that it is in turn passed to the kernel and what not... sorry for any confusion i may have caused..
