When my game starts up I am thinking of grabbing all the available memory I
can but one thing I need to is what is the best way of doing this?  I seem
to remember from experiments that the value returned by the maximum block
size function is different from what I could actually allocate by trial and
error. Why is that?

Any help appreciated,
