Win98 support 256 MB AGP cards?

I read somewhere that AGP cards with 256 MB or more would cause havoc with Win98. That is not correct. Win-98 can function just fine with VGA cards with that much ram. You *might* have to keep the Video Aperture size in the bios to something like 128 mb if you have 512 mb (or less) of system ram. I imagine that these cards would be the last of the AGP breed before switching production to PCI express, There are some VGA cards with 512 mb of ram, and Win-98 does indeed have a problem with video cards with 512 mb (or more) of ram. Some people have gotten PCIe video cards to run under win-98, and again those must be 256 mb or less. and that drivers were not tested or even made for Win9x. It takes some fiddling with INF files to get PCIe video cards to work under win-98, and only some specific chipsets (I'm only familiar with NVidia). But is there some innate limitation in how much graphic card memory that Windows 98 can handle? To answer one more time, win-98 can handle AGP cards with 256 mb of ram. |
