Ah, apparently *all* the Win9x codebase struggles with
approaching a
gig.
For some of them, you can't /install/ with more
than a certain amount,
but once it's running you can put the extra RAM back in.
On one of my systems, I run Win98SE with 1.5G of memory and dual P3s.
It took a bit of doing, but fortunately others have worked out details
of memory managers that make the job pretty easly. In my case, I simply
set up DOS with a 1GB RAMdisk allocated from the top of memory and then
installed Win98SE. No issues whatsoever.
I don't know what the workaround with NT 4 would be, as there's not a
DOS base to work from.
