XP INFO
With Windows '98 you can use up to 512 MB of RAM without adding Vcache settings to
system.ini
512 MB of RAM is good for XP too but XP Professional can use up to 4 x 1024 MB modules
depending on your motherboard.
What you can do with a dual boot, for example, is to add as much RAM as you require
for XP, let us say 1024 MB, and limit the amount of RAM to be used by Windows '98.
With a 1.4 GHz Processor you should definitely consider using more RAM.
96 MB of RAM implies either a 64 MB module plus a 32 MB module or a 128 MB module
with 32 MBs used by the video system.
If the video memory IS shared and the motherboard has an AGP slot (Accellerated Graphics
Port) you would be better off fitting a separate video card with its own memory so
that the 32 MB can be returned to use by the system giving the system the full amount
of 128 MB for exclusive use.
128 MB is not sufficient for XP, despite what some say to the contrary, and XP will
only start to perform better over 512 MB.
