Ok, this is probably already off topic, but here's the link to KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80 /support/kb/articles/Q253/9/12.ASP&NoWebContent=1
And an excerpt: If a computer that is running any of the versions of Windows that are listed above contains more than 512 megabytes (for example, 768 megabytes) of physical memory (RAM), you may experience one or more of the following symptoms: * You may be unable to open an MS-DOS session (or command prompt) while Windows is running. Attempts to do so may generate the following error message: There is not enough memory available to run this program. Quit one or more programs, and then try again. * The computer may stop responding (hang) while Windows is starting, or halt and display the following error message: Insufficient memory to initialize windows. Quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, and restart your computer.

Before upgrading to 2k I was using 98 with 1gig of physical ram for about 6months without problem.
