Peter, The 512 Meg limit setting is one that I was sure you would have known about - I found out quite some time ago that if you click on the advanced tab from the general page of Msconfig, one of the items lets you limit how much memory you want Win98 to end up using. When I just went, the greyed out amount was showing 511 Megs. So this was something I was not worried about. Also, there are a number of items on the MS tech page deals with memory, not only with 98 but also issues with 2K, I found out - 2K can only handle 4 Gigs of ram, so that has proven a MAJOR problem for some people who did not know that 2K had, likewise, an upper limit on memory it could handle.
However, since I really only need one OS active at a time, the triple boot would be fine - I still intend to look at Connectix's product since it sounds like a great product to use, no matter what. Since you did not make any comments about the installs and each in its separate partition, I guess I can assume that it will give me ultimately a triple boot doing things that way.
