No questions on asking why and what not.
But what is the limit to how much RAM I can when using Windows 98se.
Plus what other hard-ware limitations are there? I got a 2.40ghz dual core i'm considerin poppin 98se on.
Would that work?
I checked all the software drivers and what not they're all still accepted using 98se, but someone was telling me, dual don't work, and any ram over 512mb doesn't work.

I wanna hear it from someone who knows they're stuff lol.

can 2.40ghz dual core with 2 gigs of ram computer run windows 98se without problems cause of it's oldschool-ness

There is a problem with 98 that will make more than 512mb a problem.

I think it might be easier if you just install 98 in a virtual machine on that computer. That would save you some trouble and you can use all the ram.
