Windows 9598seme Ram Limitation Patch
You'll never have access to a full 4GB of RAM on a 32-bit OS. The entire address space is 4GB, of which some is hardware. 3.5GB is as good as it gets.
That is total bullsh1t. When you patch your kernel to allow the PAE extension to function. If you have 4GB installed. Then all but 3MB, yes, 3MB is the reserve for hardware. The rest is usable RAM. There are too many wana be smart asses out here on the net that may remember word for word what they have read, but they havent done shit.
They obviously are not the right people to ask if they just take what they are told. That is not my idea of a person of reference. FYI 32bit Windows servers average 64GB of RAM on the high end. And on the low side you would see something around 12GB. Dont try to pollute peoples minds with your virgin experiences.
I know win98se has a 512mb ram limitation. Swagbucks cheat codes without survey. I saw this 'Windows 98 SE Service Pack 2.1a' which claims to 'solve the 512mb problem'. Jan 1, 2019 - The Windows 95/98/SE/ME RAM Limitation Patch Program patches Windows 95, 98, 98SE or ME to support Computers with more than 512MB.
I've been running 768MB RAM with my Win98se box and i've noticed it's been getting quite unstable (now that i'm using it more). It seemed ok to begin with without installing patches or messing around with configs.
I've since installed the unofficial service pack which is supposed to fix the 512MB RAM limit, but it's made no difference. Memtest reports all modules as ok too! I'm thinking about maybe dropping down to 512MB (2 sticks) to see if it solves anything.
Does anyone else have stability issues with more than 512MB? Random freezes/lockups etc.? Oldbie Posts: 738 Joined: 2009-6-27 @ 00:07 Location: UK.

Install puppy linux from usb to hard drive mac. This method is working even with the Win9x installation process.
Now I don't need to remove DIMMs if I want to reinstall WinME. The unofficial service pack (as early as v1.2 ) already includes the memory fix, so i'm thinking maybe my motherboard or even the Powerleap adapter isn't playing nice with the RAM maxed out? I'm now running 512MB with no issues at all. It would mainly crash when copying large files (especially from USB sticks) when i had more than 512MB RAM. I like this thread on the subject Look for posts by someone named 'gosh' who claims to be a former tech support rep for MS and how his comments are responded to by the community. His comments are basically of the 'Windows 98 sucks so you should upgrade to XP' type and he gets smacked down for his lack of knowledge of the current (unofficial) state of Windows 98 before the mods step in to diffuse the situation before it explodes into a 9x vs NT flame war.

I don't want XP on this machine (ever!). I also don't fancy spending $20 on a 'Ram Limitation Patch' by R. I'm thinking maybe i should just do a fresh install of Win98 again and then install the latest/LAST unofficial service pack 3-b4. I can install Windows 98se fine with all 768mb RAM installed.
