It can't hurt to try. In win 98's msconfig you can limit how much ram to use but this seems best used when dual booting with something like win2k, XP, or Linux.
Oh yes, everyone has something different, It's from all the different hardware combinations available.

Thanks to all who've answered my query. In answer to Peter Kaulback's question:
>What do you do on your computer?
I do quite a bit of image editing, plus downloading from classical musical sites and generally doing lots of multi-tasking. So far I've never had a problem with 512MB (DDR). But since I've got this extra DDR 128MB memory stick from another (defunct) computer, I wanted to put it to use.
