The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Strange, I had this thread as a sticky in the past:
HowTo: 1024mb of ram Win98/SE/ME
Title of thread: "HowTo: 1024mb of ram Win98/SE/ME"

Maybe I will make it a sticky again.

Hummm. I had done a search, but was using the wrong terms - I was searching for the error messages not on the how to issue - so I didn't find the existing thread. Anyway, the MS "q" is a newer/updated version.

You can just merge the threads, and stick the result if you want. Not a problem for me.

Since 800MB is reserved for vcache, and you set an AGP aperture size of 256MB, you could run out of vcache space. (I never did, though, when I had 1G of RAM I set the vcache to 1024MB).

I just wish that there were some way to have 2G of RAM for W98SE...

What possible use could you have for that much RAM on a 9x machine?

Here's one possibility - multi-OS installs on the same system.
