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.
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!!
OMFG you are such a fvcking hopeless piece of sh!t(not POS which means Point of Sale, retard) try having a look on Microsofts website, they clearly have help documents on how to get win95/98/98SE/ME to use more than 512MB.
this just proves that you have no idea what you're on about and should just stay away from PC's.
I really wish the Mods would hurry up and give you a flogging with the ban stick.
I never said you can't have it recognize more than 512MB. All I said was that the OS is a piece of sh*t and cannot efficiently use large amounts of RAM well at all. Heck, it can't even use more than 128MB of RAM efficiently. I repeat, I said it can't do it efficiently, I did not say it coudn't easily recognize more than 128MB of RAM.
