[gat]

Hi ¡¡¡

I hope someone could hepl me with this:
I need windows 98 and windows xp running in the same computer.
Now have installed win xp and 1GB RAM.

Question:
It´s possible to install win98 into another disk partition and run it without unplugging half of the RAM (w98 can´t handle 1GB RAM).
How????

Thanks.

Windows 98 can use memory amounts above 512mb it's just not that good at handling it. It will still run though.

MS KnowledgeBase

• "Out of Memory" Error Messages with Large Amounts of RAM Installed
• Computer May Reboot Continuously with More Than 1.5 GB of RAM
