How many RAM slots are there? If more than one, get a PC100 or PC 133 and
see if it will work, if not, then ditch the 64mg existing chips and replace
with a higher capacity chip, too.
Check the motherboard manual to see how much RAM the motherboard will
support.
As to WIN98, I don't know. I run 384 megs on this system with good
response. Too much RAM on older system really does slow things down.
