What a load of nonsense! Windows 98SE can access 2 gigabytes
(or is it 4?) of RAM, but more than 1 gigabyte can lead to system
instability.

Computer May Reboot Continuously with More Than 1.5 GB of RAM

Often an "incorrect" error message which may actually mean not enough
hard drive space for your swapfile.

micro mart ran an article on this they said win98se has a bug it cant
recognize more than 128mb of memory
but I found it depend on the memory installed just depends how good it is if
your lucky you might get away with a bit more but the more you install the
less windows will accept

run nortons memory check to see how much you can use

and then set the limit on how much windows uses to just below that in
control panel system info

better off upgrading to win 2k something like that over there......
