Yes.

Currently none I tried. The only limitations are
DPaint can use vmem only for animations (pics are kept in chip memory),
AudioMaster cannot sample to vmem (which would not make sense anyway
since hard disk access would result in ugly noise... Only way around
this is a specialized hard disk recording tool using some clever double
buffering scheme).

Perhaps a list with memory eating program could be constructed,
so the already existing database of GigaMem could be made more
complete.
I plan to release updated databases via ftp etc. regularly...
