1GIG of Ram with 98SE??

[RobH]

I assembled a Asus CUV4X-E and a 1 GIG PIII processor for a friend,and it runs extremely well.He wasnt satisfied with 512 meg of PC133,he continued to add memory till it started rebooting on its own.
After flashing the board it stopped the rebooting
and seems to come up sometimes with all the Ram he has-sometimes it doesnt.
My thought is that windows cant use over 512 anyway-his is "theres 4 slots for a reason".
Question-if we upgraded the OP to Win2K can it utilize that much ram?
If it can -what changes will we be looking at by changing the OP?
Thanks in Advance

You can modify Win98 to use more than 512Mb of RAM, but it doesn't utilize it as good as Win2K or WinXP can. Ditch Win98 and go for 2k or XP.

Hal -How can it be modified??It might be worth a try

Follow the info from the MS Knowledge base here. (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q253912) You might also want to add the line ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1 to your SYSTEM.INI file.

The first time I read your post I missed the bold part. taking this into account I believe you have a bad stick of ram somewhere or it is not installed right

Whoops... missed that one myself. I agree, sounds like a bad stick in there somewhere.

That seems to be the logical thought,but I swapped memory till my my eyes were red from lack of sleep last night,and it will certainly do it with any of the combination of ram I put in it,also he has a game he plays (Max something =)) and when all the memory is installed the intro of the game will do a light speed load (and I mean light speed) then crash.
Darndest thing I ever saw.Any additional Ideas?? Thanks
