Win 98SE and 1 gig of memory

Does Windows 98 se have a problem with a 1 gig stick of memory? I have
two PCs and both are dual boot with 98 and XP. Both motherboards support
up two two 1 gig sticks of memory. When I tried to use one niether would
boot up in 98, With 1.5 gig of memory it says there is insufficient
memory to start windows. The memory is compatible with the boards
according to the web sites. Even XP, which did boot up, was noticably
slower with 1.5 gig of memory than with 768 meg. Why would this be?
 
Re: Win 98SE and 1 gig of memory

Thanks for the link Fan, I have been looking for a solution for my dual boot
computer with 2 gigs, I found out how to boot to 1 gig and suspected 98
couldn't use 2 gigs. Thanks now I can boot into 98 without having to remove a
gig of RAM every time.
