Virginia, Win 98 can handle 512 mb easily and as far as what is optimal it depends on what you need to do on your computer.

XP can take up to 4 gb of ram, 16 gb on the 64 bit version.

If you are doing video or image editing then 512 or more is highly recommended. A good friend is running 3 gb but she is also doing complex 3D animation work on her XP machine.

What do you do on your computer?

In the hour of 11:13 AM 9/6/2003 +0100, Virginia Da Costa spoke this:
I am wondering what the maximum, or optimum, amount of RAM is for a Win 98SE
system (1.7GHz CPU). I currently have 512 MB in both my machines, but have a
spare 128 MB which I could add, provided it's not going to prejudice the
system. I remember reading somewhere that anything over 512 MB in Win98 was
counter-productive.
Any ideas on this?

Also, what is the optimum RAM amount with Windows XP? I see new systems are
being sold with 1GB or more!
Thanks for your input.
