Martin,

When you add RM's to whatever system (RE2 or iR) you increase the pixel fill
rate, but NOT the texture memory. It doesn't matter the number of RM's, if you
have RM4's you have 4 MB of texture memory and if you have RM5's you have 16
MB. Of course, RM4's and RM5's can not be mixed in a single system.

Hope to help

Nacho
