    I'm having problems with my new rig.

    Installed Win98 SE with 1 stick of 512 MB RAM. ---> All went smooth.
    Inserted the other stick of 512 MB ---> different errors.

    Tried the:
    [386Enh] MaxPhysPage=10000 and
    [VCache] MinFileCache=262144, MaxFileCache=524288
    in system.ini ---> Didn't help.

    Tried to make a 640 MB RamDisk before Win98 starts up. ---> Didn't help.



    Now what?


    Oh yeah, it will be a multi-boot system with Win2K & WinXP, so remarks pointing at those OSs won't help either... :helpsmile:

    the only solution i can suggest is use 512 ram it is more than what you need to use.

    Yep, read that one

    Found the culprit though.

    Did a format - reinstall with 1 GB Ram this time.
    Everything worked well,.....
    until I tried to install the video drivers. Now it craps out again.

    So, downgrading the videodrivers might help.

    Anyway, riddle solved I guess.

    When any of you has a suggestion on what driver to use for the

    ASUS V9520 Magic/T card (GeForce FX 5200)

    I would feel obliged.

    Who needs this to haul freight?


    It's intriguing, difficult & rewarding Rossco.

    alrighty...i suppose. makes more sense if you were using a different kind of OS, like linux for instance. or maybe trying out a new beta, longhorn for example.
