MaxPhysPage refers to maximum physical memory that the computer has in it.
(http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q181//62.ASP)
MaxFileCache  refers to the 32bit protected mode cache driver, it determines
the maximum cache size based on the amount of RAM that is present when
windows starts, you want this set to 512MB or less.
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/articles/Q253/9/12.ASP)

And if you want to force your computer to cache primarily to RAM not Hard
Drive add the following

[386Enh]
ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

I hope this helps.

Hi all!

This is a bit offtopic, but you guys are usually a knowledgeable bunch.

Is there anybody out there who knows what registrysettings has to be
changed to allow W98se to run on a box with more than 512MB RAM?
I have a machine as follows:
MoBo: ASUS A7n8X (non DeLuxe)
CPU: Athlon XP2500+ Barton
RAM: 2x512MB(1GB) Twinmos PC3200
GrCard: Hercules Radeon9000 Pro
Currently running XP sp1, but it's too damn ugly.
I mean; One has had to learn, over time, to circumvent most of the flaws
in the "Chicago"(W95->) UI, and I simply refuse to invest time in
learning yet another clunky awkward UI that Redmond is trying to force
on me.
Therefore I thought I'd run '98 on it 'til I find my W2k-disc again (I'm
moving and don't really have the time to look for it)

TIA   /Ola J
