Au contraire. There is a certain point, I think it's 128MB, where system performance on Win9x actually begins to degrade. I have heard this issue discussed here on the UT; perhaps our more hardware-enlightened brethren can provide more details.

But back to the core issue, I'm suggesting possible deviations from the norm for Frank, not suggesting that these ideas *are* the norm.
