wow, and i was told that win98 just wouldn't use more than 512mb of ram. that's why i was shocked when i added a 512 stick to the mobo and it actually ran for a few days before it started giving me problems. > I "Windows Knowledge Base" or whatever > oxymoronic name they called it. > you got that right > Yeah here it is.
