Is 128kb the max RAM that Windows 98 can handle

[javaarray]

I am looking at up grading my ram from 64KB to 512KB, using two 256KB sticks of sdram. I was told the windows 98 will only see the first 128KB, is this true?? I know the mother board will handle all 512KB..

I have ran Win98 with 512Megs of rams, and with 384, but currently I run Win2000 with 384.

it will see all of your rams, but it is unlikely that win98s system itself will use up past 128 (but applications will use the remaining free rams) Karl

I have run Windows with 256MB RAM. It will use it for applications, but honestly anyone running 9x who needs more than 128MB RAM should really think of using 2000.
