Hey, is there a limit to how big you can make the dimensions of a pic with CreateCompatibleBitmap API?

Probably only your memory :) I guess you can't make arrays huger than 2 Gigabytes.

Yes, it depends on your memory, but per say that you did have over 2 terabytes of ROM and RAM, it would be limited to the value of the Long Integer (2,147,483,647).

Windows also simulates memory on a hard disk, it's not only the SDRAM/RDRAM/... and certainly not ROM.

hehe cool :) And yeah with Virtual Memory you probably only need a HD with at least 2GB memory free.
