Will I notice any improvement on a AMD 1.2 and a GE Force 2 card ?
I run GPL and N4 just about exclusively.

Win98 does have an issue above 512MB but there's a workaround.
For most users, there's little performance to be gained from a 256->512 MB
upgrade unless you work with large graphics files or apps that grab a lot of
RAM (I do...). I've never seen a game/sim that wasn't running fine on a
128MB machine. 256 is nice if you have a lot of background ***running but
I think most of us shut that stuff off anyway to get more CPU cycles for the
sim.
512 MB on my W2K machine is a beautiful thing... I hardly ever have swapfile
access because most work is done in RAM.

MaxFileCache=xxxx (anything in kilobytes that is equal to 512mb or
less)

MS confirms this at Article ID: Q181594
"Although Windows 95 has the ability to address up to 4GB of
virtual memory, it can access and use only 2GB or less of physical RAM. "
: So...what's the workaround?
Crap... sorry... that's what happens when I read r.a.s from work and the
phone rings forgot to include a link.
Here's the link to Microsoft's KB article on this issue.
