RAM limitations I haven't seen the WIN 95 64 MB RAM limitation. The Kingston Memory site recommends 128MB to 256 MB for high end graphics applications in WIN 95. kingston.com I think the RAM limitation is related to the OS in some cases and with some applications. I make use of 128 MB RAM in a DOS application on a PII 266. On another machine with 288 MB RAM I can only make use of 64MB RAM with the same DOS application. I don't know why I have this limitation. It is a new IBM 365 computer with a Pentium Pro 200 CPU. It might be related to the Pentium Pro problem with 16 BIT code Tom's Hardware guide tomshardware.com indicates that RAM limitation is based on the ability of the chipset / motherboard combination's ability to cache the RAM. >>The TX chipset seems indeed to be a direct successor to the VX chipset. It still doesn't support ECC, multi CPU and not even more than 64 MB cacheable RAM. The max. RAM has been raised to 256MB,but what help is this if only a quarter of this will be cached? << Tom also indicates that there is a 512 MB RAM limitation with the PII CPU. tomshardware.com >>There will be a 'normal' Deschutes for the now well known Slot 1, in other words nothing but a faster version of the Pentium II as we already know it, but also there'll be a Deschutes for the upcoming Slot 2, which is supposed to not suffer from the 512MB cacheable RAM area limit anymore, << Regards Zeuspaul
