Maximum memory on Win98

[Guest Paradoxdb3]

Did I hear correctly that Windows 98 cannot handle memory more than 512 MB?

If I'm wrong, what IS the maximum memory for Windows 98? And what happens

when that "too much" limit has been exceeded?

win98 can handle more than 512 megs but you need to change your vcache

setting prior to adding more ram

Sorry about the Dec date on a few posts--I was checking on some plane

tickets and forgot to set the date back to Nov.

Re: Maximum memory SORRY about date

 

I appreciate the offer PCR but I think it is for the wrong airline. That

looks like an Air Force ticket and I need one from AA (the airline, not the

other one) <G>

It is an Air Force ticket! OK, here is the parachute that goes with it.
