Thanks man. I'm going to try this when I get home.
For anyone still having memory issues, don't forget to change the font to one of the alts.

I tried out a few different configurations to see what my memory usage looked like. Here's a summary:
-XBox 1.6 w/softmod
-T3CH XBMC 2009-04-04 SVN rev19213-9.04-ALPHA1
-Debug level '3' in advancedsettings.xml
-Latest MediaStream skin build (installed with xbmcsm)
For each test, I simply navigated to Movies, and made sure the same movie was selected each time (since the different thumbs probably have an impact). From there, I copied down the memory usage displayed.
1) all settings default: 18424
2) Arial font: 20596
3) lite theme: 23308
4) lite theme + Arial font: 25440
5) lite theme + Arial font + Waffa's textures.xpr: 26164
So... Waffa's textures.xpr helps a little, as does switching from the default font (thanks 2-7offsuit). However, 26MB is still not enough memory to play a movie via SMB. The general consensus appears to be that 32-33MB is much more likely to work.

Only 12-15MB free is working for others? Wow. Any chance that you're running in 720p?

well, i just tested your texture and on build 19521 yours runs 2MB w/ less free mem than MS Lite texture.
I'm getting 15MB, with yours, and 17MB in home screen after some scrolling and 18MB vs. 20MB in media preview.

How can you see that ?
Even with the extra-lite textures you have to run Mediastream lite.
And the extra lite textures are exatly thesame as normal , only toke out the img. that where used by default and resized the thumbs from 256 to 192.

I'm using MediaStream v1.00 - Xbox friendly Mod.

That clear things.
The exta-lite textures are made for MS v1.0- standard.
You should try it. I've got more free memory in my setup then you've in the mod. Version.

Followed your advice and MS standard + extra-lite textures is freaking smooth, even in media preview...
Only "problem" is that as i cycle thru home screen free ram drops to 4MB.
