You can enter any number directly, it's just not in the default list.

If "automatic" sets it to more than 64 MB, it might make problems. I'm
pretty sure that ~60 MB was the max. that worked.  Smaller numbers would
only cause TTDPatch to abort with an "out of memory" conditions at most.

However TTD doesn't work in VMWare win98, only in plain DOS, so I can't
test this anymore.
