Default Maximum amount of RAM

Is there a maximum amount of RAM that Windows 98 SE can
use?

Thanks,

Yes. It can handle 512 MB without problems. With some tweaks you can use
until 1 GB.

Microsoft states that more than 1 GB can cause problems,

but I've heard of people using 1.5 GB without problems. I've never seen
that with my own eyes.
