ME will supoort the added memory IF your mobo will support more. You'll need to make some adjustments tho, just like with 98. And don't try to run more than 1Gb. Here's a note I keep in my tips file for running over 512Mb on 98 and ME:

"When running Windows 98se with over 512Mb ram, make the
following changes:

C:/Windows/System (note pad or .ini, not System folder)

Change within vcache MinFileCache=262144
MaxFileCache=524288

Add immediately after [386Enh]
ConservativeSwapFileUsage=1 "

That's why I said in my first post: "don't try to run more than 1Gb"
