Greetings --

You really should be asking this in a Win98 news group, but yes,
it's possible. In fact, Win98 has no trouble recognizing amounts of
RAM over 512 Mb. For it to effectively _use_ that amount of RAM,
however, a minor setting in the registry must be changed.

You're lucky I remembered this; it's been nearly two years since
I've even _seen_ a computer running Win98, much less had to support
one. ;-}
