Win 9x won't use over 512 meg even if you have more. The INI and some other changes/tweaks
limits the memory Win 9X can address. Win 9X can't physically address/reference
the physical memory to the virtual memory. MS has KB articles on it. It is a design
limitation that they didn't plan on fixing as XP was on it's way and Win 9X is a
hybrid system 16/32 bit system with built in limitations so they never planned to
rewrite an old operating system.
Even with the tweaks, some systems will not boot. I have two such motherboards (older
Asus server class models)...
