Default Win98SE and 1GB RAM = major problems for only me

I just upgraded an existing dual boot 98SE/2000 machine to 1GB RAM,
from having prior 512MB. Machine is a Barton 2600, Asus A7N8X-E
nForce2 Ultra 400 chipset. Video card is a GeForce4 MX 420.

I can no longer get 98SE to boot. I tried the ’vcache’,
’maxphyspage’, and ’ConservativeSwapfileUsage’ tricks. Also tried the
’msconfig’ limit RAM thing. None of these tricks work for me.

Depending on certain combinations of the above 3 tricks, sometimes it
will boot to a 640x480 screen and not allow me to change resolution.
Sometimes it will just boot to a messed up screen. Sometimes it will
boot to a blank desktop.

Are there any other things I might try? I’m wondering if it has
something to do with my configuration of hardware. Looking around the
Internet it seems everyone else is able to solve this problem. Thanks
for any help.
