If the buffers are going to be in use nearly all the time, you might as well use MemPtrNew which locks the memory and makes it available for normal use at once. Use MemHandleNew only if the memory needs to be accessed only occasionally. You will have to lock it before each access and unlock it after. The benefit is that this memory can be moved by the operating system to make larger blocks available. If your application is not short on memory, then this benefit may be of little use, and not worth the bother of all the locks and unlocks.
