You have a bookshelf that can only hold so many books.
On that shelf is a book that you'll never want to read -- let's call it "The Wit and Wisdom of Henry Kissinger".
Since, for some reason, throwing the book away is not an option -- you put a new book on the shelf, called "Do not read The Wit and Wisdom of Henry Kissinger".
Sort of a waste of shelf space isn't it?
That's what your doing when you overwrite the Odyssey client located in the Windows folder.
You're putting a new book (file) on the shelf (into RAM) to tell the PPC not to acess the original book (file).
Sounds good in theory but just like you will never read "The Wit and Wisdom of Henry Kissinger, the PPC will never try to access the Odyssey client located in the Windows Folder -- only the copy in the Funk folder gets loaded into RAM.
Wasted shelf space -- wasted RAM.
Why that file is even in the Windows folder to begin with is beyond me but there you go.
Taking it off the shelf (deleting it) would be preferable, of course, but as it's in ROM -- it's just not possible.

You answered your own question, the \windows file is in ROM and therefore not taking up RAM.
