To one and all,
I have found that I am running into a very frustrating situation with
having to have my system dual boot with Win98SE and WinXP Pro.
Turns out due to the 98 issue, I can not put more than the current 512
Megs of ram in the system, though I followed the way to do things as
given in the Microsoft support database on what to do - seems you just
can NOT run a system having 98 with more than 512 Megs of ram. I bought
and installed another 512 Megs of ram, and got lockups, and all kinds of
other problems like I could not believe, so had to go back to the
original 512 Megs. of ram to get things stable.
So the question I have deals with running XP with just 512 Megs of ram -
how effectively does XP work with this amount of ram???
The issues I am potentially going to have to deal with involve editing
audio and video files in XP, and this is especially one area I don't know
how much potential problem would I be facing with just having the 512
Megs of ram. I have over 300 Gigs of hard drive space to work with from
that standpoint, so hopefully XP would effectively use that space whan
ram was not available. I know it is not like the speed of ram but not
much I can do on that issue it would seem.
Don't know what causes this - have only heard about it. I am writing
this on a PIII 500/ MS Windows 98SE with 640M Ram, recognised and
running according to Belarc Advisor and POST . Maybe it's a hardware
specific problem?
