Default Adjustments for RAM (was: Installing Win 98 on new kit)

Unless you are getting *out of memory* messages, nothing is required. Here
is some info:

Over 512 mb or more of ram:

"Out of Memory" Errors with Large Amounts of RAM Installed [Q253912]
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q253912

This article contains instructions which basically say: add this line in
system.ini, under [vcache]: MaxFileCache=512000
***************************

1 gb or more of ram:

Error Message: Insufficient Memory to Initialize Windows [Q184447]
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;Q184447

1.5 gb or more of ram:
