In style.ini, I have the following first line:
HASHMEM =32
which should allocate 32 MB according to my understanding.
412 MB is what I see in Windows Task Manager.
The comment seems to indicate megabytes:

//HASHMEM :
Amyan will use this amount of MB of RAM for his hash tables, at least 1 MB.
More RAM is used for other stuff, but a small amount.
It is not always usefull to give it more and more RAM, because each time the effect of
adding more and more ram is smaller and smaller, and perhaps even counterproductive.
For example in my celeron 1.3Ghz I have it at 32 mb and I don't change it unless the tc
is at least G/30', but the truth is I am too lazy to test this well anyway.
X times longer time control or X times more computer speed, implies about X times more ram
could help.
Anyway, more cool than ram is the speed of your computer.

It was running under Arena, and therefore operating as a UCI engine. I had UCI set up with large hash for slow EPD analysis.
