16bit samples not decreasing amount loaded into ram

[Moneta]

I just purchased a new i7 2.8ghz 12gb ram slave machine running windows 7 and have loaded the Platinum Plus samples onto it spread across 4 different hard drives. I built a template off of the 24bit samples and ran out of room so I proceeded to switch everything over to 16bit. The problem is loading everything in 16bit didnt really decrease the ram usage that much, it basically went from 10.5 gb with the 24bit samples to 10.3gb with the 16bit samples.

I didnt do a normal install of play, I simply copied the sample library's over from my Intel Mac to the new hard drives on the slave PC. Afterwards I installed Play v1.2.5 That being said, that being said only thing I can think of is maybe that Play isnt really loading the 16bit samples. I would have expected to at least gain a couple of gigabytes by doing this.

I should proabably also mention that I am loading play into vienna ensemble pro via jbridge on the slave machine.

Any idea's?
