My team and I are doing some testing using the Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator in VS2005 (RTM) and are leveraging the RAM resizing capabilities.
It seems curious to us that when we have the RAM set to 256MB, the Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC Emulator shows Total Storage memory of 31.42MB and Total Program memory of 100.98MB. If the formula is (Total Memory - InUseMemory) = OSImageSize, then it would appear that we have an image of ~120MB, which does not seem correct. Or, has the emulator not resized the RAM correctly
I have looked through the documentation and have not been able to ascertain what the loaded ROM image size would be (as I'm guessing that it would be different from the size of the .bin file on disk).
Thoughts
Memory missing after RAM resizing?

The free memory shown by the Windows Mobile control panel applet doesn't account for all RAM. The values you see do not count the size of the ROM image (from the .bin file), the video frame buffer, a ramdisk, and several other large data structures.
