Hi JD, let me understand, as you know my main problem is how to
make sure that all the memory allocation for this buffer will
sit ONLY on the 'real' physical RAM (the 256 MB that my PC have).
So what do you say? that if i'll use 'new' (which is very easy)
the allocation will be ONLY in the 'real' memory without that 
'paging' thing that use tha hard-drive as part of the memory?
If so, then it's the perfect solution for me, but does it 
realy works this way?

Yes that's the way.
