Sometimes I fail to see why people would want to push
win98's limits on this; and if the OP is a gamer, then prudence
suggests a more qualified OS for the purpose.
I have 512 on my dual boot 98/xp and it runs anything I
toss at it. (without getting ridiculous of course)


It doesn't work well if the settings aren't right. I use it with 768 MB
and it works fine and I have several friends who have a gig and it works
great.

The main reason to use this, is that 1 gig of RAM in Windows 98 gives
you 1 gig - 64 MB of RAM available for use in software, while in windows
XP, 1 gig of RAM gives you 512 MB of RAM for use in software.

So the diffirence in preformance is noticable.
