Does Windows ’98 SE have a RAM limit?
PROBLEM: I recently read that Windows 98 Second Edition can recognize only 128MB of RAM, and that purchasing more memory is not productive. Is this true?
SOLUTION: No. It’s an urban legend. From time to time you’ll see postings claiming that Windows 98, SE, ME, NT, 2000 (take your pick) can recognize only 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, or who-knows-how-many megabytes of memory. In fact, all modern versions of Windows can handle 2GB of memory; far more than most of us are likely to encounter in the foreseeable future.
There’s one minor gotcha, though: A bug in Windows 95, 98, SE, and ME crops up if you have more than 512MB of memory installed. The part of Windows that moves files in and out of the main computer sets aside enough memory so it can work with big files, and if the amount of available memory is large, the memory chunk that’s set aside is large, too. Unfortunately, if the amount of available memory is huge—more than 512MB-the file—handling routines can grab so much memory that nothing is left for more mundane functions. Paradoxically, if Windows hits this bug, it may report the problem to you by saying “There is not enough memory available to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again.” Or it may hang completely.
To warn Windows that you have more than 512MB of memory installed, add the following line to the [VCache] section of your win.ini file: MaxFileCache = 524288.
