Careful, you'll poke another hole in POS link19s theory...
Interesting that one could even reach 512mb at all if only 16bits of address space were available.

Link9x, you are a POS troll! Enough said.Originally posted by: POS Link9x
They are POS opertaing systems. Enough said.

It can address 512MB of memory, but not well. It can do so because of the 32-bit extensions. The 32-bit extensions on top of a native 16-bit arcitecture is what enables it to address 512MB of memory.
POS WIndows 98/ME cannot even see more than 1GB of memory. They are POS opertaing systems. Enough said. And when I say POS, it stands for Piece of Sh*t, NOT Point of Sale!!

There are currently no 98/ME drivers for the the GeForce 7xxx video cards - that doesn't mean there will never be. And even if they aren't released from the official company, there are plenty of talented programmers out there already making drivers for various video cards in the Linux community. It's not a stretch to say that someone may very well write a driver for Win98/ME as well.

Here we go again
I bet I can get Windows 98 / ME to see 1GB of memory
Link19: Would you mind just butting out of these types of threads? We know you've got a problem with win98, but it isn't your place to tell everyone else what to use. Your antics are getting old.

I said more than 1GB of memory I did not say it couldn't see 1GB. However, it couldn't use 1GB very well, if at all, even though it can definitely see it.

Is that a binary gigabyte or a metric gigabyte?

some key points:
"Like Windows 95, Windows 98 is derived from the Windows 3.1 platform and includes the following features:
? A complete 32-bit kernel, including memory management, and preemptive multitasking and multithreading support.
? A fully integrated 32-bit, protected-mode file system, which eliminates the need to rely on a separate copy of MS-DOS once the system boots up.
? 32-bit installable file system drivers supporting FAT, FAT32, ISO 9660 (CD-ROM), ISO 13346 (Universal Disk Format/Digital Video Disc [UDF/DVD]), network redirection, and high performance. These file system drivers also support the use of long file names and an open, modular architecture to handle future expansion.
? WDM support, which allows a WDM-supported device to run under both Windows 98 and future versions of Windows NT using the same driver.
? Improved system-wide robustness and "cleanup" after an application or driver fails. This delivers a more stable and reliable operating environment.
? A dynamic hardware and environment configuration, which reduces the need for users to adjust and restart their systems manually.
of course I'm sure you'll say its a microsoft conspiracy
If you must insist on making a point, do a little research before you make yourself look like a total idiot. Pointing us to a forum post is not proof, a technical architecture document from Microsoft is!

You might want to read this. The Config.sys and Autoexec.bat section show you what happens. W95 loads 16-bit drivers in the regular <640k memory space as real mode components. Yes, it is 32-bit, but MS tried to avoid folks using the 16-bit pile. If one of these drivers crashed, so did Win95. Unlike NT or OS/2, 95 had a 16-bit underside. NT and OS/2 2.x completely virtualized it through the kernal. 95 had this 16-bit parallel stack that went to hardware. Just like DOS. As long as you left it alone, it was general fine. It took about a year for everyone to get on the device driver program.Originally posted by: darincm

Ouch dude. Who told you to bring a Nuclear Bomb to the schoolyard fight?
We're picking on POS link19 because it's fun watching him get riled up and squirm, not because the debate actually needs to be settled.
f'n meanie pants. You better not have just ruined this thread.
Eureka! Link19 fails the Touring test. He is actually a Point of Sale device running Windows Mobile. No wonder he hates Windows 9x!Originally posted by: Stumps
