Windows 95/98/98SE/ME only supports 512MB of RAM.
I just learned that recently. However, I did have it
working fine once with 768MB of RAM. I then went up
to 1GB of RAM, and everything went to hell!
After trying to limit the memory to 512 in msconfig,
and altering the vcache as per MS support pages, it still
would not work. I then went back to 768MB, and even
that would never work again. The only solution was
going back to 512MB. The two above solutions are suggtested
by MS, but they don't seem to work.
The only choice you have is going with 512MB or changing
the OS to Win2000 or XP to be able to use the larger amount
of RAM.
