Where more than 128MB of RAM is installed, the [vcache] setting in the file C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI needs to be modified. The setting required depends on the amount of RAM actually installed.

Fixing Win98SE to accept up to 1GB memory requires you to use NOTEPAD to edit the file SYSTEM.INI (in the [vcache] section of SYSTEM.INI) as follows:

MaxFileCache=524288
minfilecache=32768
chuncksize=2048.

See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q253/9/12.asp


Getting the OS to *properly* utilize amounts in excess of 256Mb is another matter entirely.
