Hi all, How can I know when I create a display list if it has been created in VRAM or in RAM ? I tried to compare available RAM before and after with GlobalMemoryStatus but I got strange results (more RAM available after creating the DL sometimes !!) I someone knows a way to do this please tell me. ptl
