I'm not an expert on the subject but if memory serves 98 doesn't tend to manage large (over 256) amounts of ram effectively. I ran my 95/98/98SE with 48 (lol...that was a lot at the time) for a while and finally added another 32 for a whopping 80 and saw a significant improvement. If I remember correctly, you can even have a performance hit with too much. It is a law of diminishing returns "thing". This issue has been improved upon with Windows 2000 and XP. They can use much larger amounts of ram.
