Well, there would be the minor issue of W98 not having any trace of
SMP support so one of your CPUs doing nothing at all.
But apart from that, no. :?)

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.
