Have you considered using Virtual PC or VMWare to run 98?

I've used both in the past, not the current releases mind you, and both have performed very well.
When compatibility mode just isn't compatible these tool are invaluable :)

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 dont 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.
