Does win 98 SE works with 1.5 GB RAM? What is the maximum limit on RAM for Win 98 SE?

Windows 95/98 can utilize up to 2GB of system memory. However, how well Windows 98 will work with that much memory is another story.

Win98 will recognize it, but it's memory management for computers with 512+ RAM is really a crap. Cacheman will slighty improve it, but it'll still be a crap.

Cheers rbaibich, I was wondering if making the move from 256 to 512 in win98se would be worth it. I had heard rumours that 512 was irksome.
