It's a little late to be quoting verbatim references but the out of memory error
is not due to bad ram. I have it more than once, it's a consequence of over enthusiastic
tweaking causing damage to dlls and the other stuff windows 98 is prone to.
Couple of interesting points.
Norton Utilities, as great as it is, can lock up your disc, or portions of it, causing
some very strange things, even after it has been removed. I've currently got a drive
J: which windows can see but not format, and norton and other diagnostics tell me
a file utility has it locked. The only possible cause of this is NU which was removed
prior to W98 reinstall, but because it was on another drive, causes all sorts of
confusion.
With all the extra ram, you can use it to run windows in. So you are using real ram
instead of virtual. If you go over to Tek-Tips (just put that in your address bar)
there's an FAQ on the Win 98 forum which explains how to use the extra ram instead
of virtual ram, with apparently lightening results.
Presently, I'm only using 128, but it's a high grade RAM (PNY) and find this amount
faster than when I had 290 in of cheap stuff. So, to be honest I think the extra
RAM is just a waste of money.
