Win98/98SE/ME can't handle more than 512 megs of memory Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512MB (524,288 KB) or less." < i've omitted the rest of the quote. my graphics adapter memory aperture is located at the last 256M of the 4G mark and my disk cache size is 128M. this allows slightly over 1.2G of real RAM to be installed and use on a system. Microsoft's web site has detailed directions for doing this should anyone care but they obviously don't since it's cast in stone that Win9x can't use more than 512M of RAM. when the virtual memory overlap problem occurs, the system won't boot, it doesn't run slower. but since you guys all know this to be true without ever trying it, what does it matter?
