My best guess is that this is probably OK,

that the 501 only supports 16M.

Monitor it for memory usage on an ongoing basis if you are worried.

I suspect that you cannot change the memory size in any case. If you want more free memory I think that you will have to get a more expensive Pix. Pix 535 supoports 1G at least. Free memory of course is of no value.

Walter will likely be along in a minute with the real answer.
