Default RAM Upgrade : Compatibility

In addition to John John's excellent advice, I have to ask you why you think
you need a RAM upgrade. You already have plenty for most purposes (when
running Win9x). As for HDs, there are issues with size. That chipset
shouldn't have any problems, but Win98 has limits that you might run into
(my memory is going, so I can't recall the exact specs.) Make sure you find
out about those before buying a new HD. (I presume you want to add another
HD, not actually replace your current one?) If you don't get an answer here,
try /microsoft.public.win98.gen_discussion. More people there who talk about
these limits all the time and will actually remember what they are.

Old RAM can be quite expensive and potentially problematic. You might want
to make sure that all this upgrading isn't better spent on a new machine.

Hi.

I have been using Win 98 since past 5 yrs without any issues and my
setup is a 810E Motherboard/256 MB RAM/20 GB HDD/866 MHz Pentium III
Processor

The RAM is rated at 133 MHz.

I want to upgrade my RAM and HDD. Can someone please advise how much
RAM can I upgrade on 810E. What is the largest HDD supported by this
motherboard.

Thanks,

Dinesh Jangir.
