Does WinME have issues addressing 1GB of ram?

I just added another stick of 512mb pc2100 to my older MSI KT3 rig (1gb total now), and it booted up to WinXP flawless. Ran a few apps and everything seems fine. Then I fire up WinME and it freezes. Is it WinME or is it just my system?



Thanx.
 
Yes it does. According to the Microsoft Knowledge Base about freezing and BSOD's at startup with Windows 98 or ME:

CAUSE
Windows Me and Windows 98 are not designed to handle 1 GB or more of RAM. 1 GB or more of RAM can lead to potential system instability.

RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, reduce the amount of memory that is installed in your computer to 512 megabytes (MB) or less.

Thanx guys for the help, I followed the AT faq and Windows ME is running fine now. Only reason why I have it loaded on this rig is for Starcraft/Broodwar/Warcraft II. These older games seem to have problems joining and hosting games on battle.net with Windows XP, but with Windows ME it works fine, go figure.


Thanx fellas!
