Win 98 and RAM


Ok, so I just got a 512 stick for my woefully underpowered and old comp. Before installing that, I had a 64mb stick, and a 256 stick. I planned on replacing that 64 mb stick with the 512 one.

So, I install it and everything is fine till I try to log on with my ISP. Kept getting an error saying the connection port is invalid or busy. I figured I must have knocked something accidentally. Then, I remembered somewhere, a looong time ago, I heard that Windows 98 cant perform well with more than 512 mb of RAM.

I then take out the 256 stick, leaving only the 512. Now, everythings running fine (havent tested any games yet)

So, my question is, did I really just knock something loose in the modem back there? Or can Windows 98 just NOT handle 512+?

Thank you in advance.
