Maximum RAM is only limited by the number and size of memory slots on the motherboard. Most Operating Systems have a MINIMUM set of values for set up, not a maximum. Win 95 -- 8MB Windows 95 Installation Requirements (Q138349) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q138349 Win 98 -- 16MB Minimum Hardware Requirements for a Windows 98 Installation (Q182751) http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q182751 Win XP -- 128MB (64MB supported) Windows XP Home Edition System Requirements http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/home/howtobuy/upgrading/sysreqs.asp Just because your system can use the memory above 64MB does not mean that it will do so efficiently, however. Another important factor to consider is whether or not your motherboard's chip set and BIOS are designed to work with the additional memory. See the specifications for your motherboard. The only limit I know of currently on Intel-based machines is GNU Mach (The micro-kernel of the GNU system) which only supports 640MB of RAM. -- Gerry Boyd ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
