Yes, that's right. I had used that setting as well. It's been such a
long time since really using win98. My wife has win98 installed on her
machine but I don't really do much with it personally. It's yet to
crash after 4 months. Hmmm. :))

AFAIK, the system doesn't get slower per se when you exceed the 64MB
limit with cacheable RAM using the TX and VX chipsets. It's just that
the performance increase with adding more RAM is not as good as with
chipsets that allow caching of RAM above 64MB. When I had upgraded
from 64MB to 128MB of RAM on my previous motherboard which used a VX
chipset, their was definite performance increases.

I did this with win95 OSR2.
I went into the system properties, hit the performance tab and then
hit the 'virtual memory' button. You will then see that in the virtual
memory settings applet there is a choice to let you specify your own
virtual memory settings. You may then tell how much swap space may be
used on each partition. I turned down all partitions to zero except
one which I had set to a comfortable figure.
I see that in win98 these settings are still very much present. :)
Of course I'd advise that you do this at your own risk and if things
go wrong, reboot to safe mode and reverse the changes. If you are more
adventurous fiddle until a workable setting is achieved. I don't know how
win98 is in this regard. I never tried it.
