You should only care about it if you disable virtual memory.  If not, a 
16MB machine can have the same amount of available memory as the one with 
32MB.  The game will run slower once it starts paging, but it *will* run.

If you care about the free physical memory, use the function
_go32_dpmi_remaining_physical_memory.  It returns only one number ;-).
