My question is: Will I go to jail for performing unqualified PC assembly thingies? (Time to make a run for it :police: ) |

I don't believe it will recognize or make use of 1gb ram as I recall there being some upper limit in Win98 where there is a diminishing return but it is likely not required in this situation anyway. --- End quote --- 512 megs. Beyond that, not only is there a diminishing return, but it can cause problems up to and including boot issues. --- End quote --- I'm using 1GB of memory with my 98SE MAME machine with no problems. I installed the Unofficial Windows 98SE Service Pack and it includes a fix for the "more than 512M" problem. Note that 1GB is the highest you can reasonably go with this fix. After that, you have to resort to changing windows settings so that it cannot see the entire available memory and that defeats the whole purpose of having more memory.

How's this for stable--I installed Win98SE with NO additional software. I set up a shared folder, and started copying my mame roms from a WinXP machine on my network. After it copies about a gig, I get a blue screen. EVERY time. I've had to reboot about 6 times so far, getting a little further each time. A few more days of reboots, and I'll have all of my roms over there! (Perhaps I should just burn some DVDs, but I hate to waste media!) I tried the unoffiical service pack Krick mentioned, but it still crashes. Oh well. |
