Yes, you'll find quite a number of our patches do run with 2mb machines.

In fact making the game Falcon compatible doesn't effect the amount of memory the game needs. It's making the game hard-drive installable that eats away ram. As basically we load the entire games data into memory before the game runs. As the majority of games over write the systems memory which deals with file i/o.
