Running Into "Too Much RAM" Memory Problems With Win9x?

Is this behavior by design? YES!

  1. images/bullet2.gifDifficulties under Windows 9x-ME with more than 512MB of memory installed in the system (5/9/2002).

    Set the MinFileCache and MaxFileCache setting in the SYSTEM.INI file to reduce the maximum amount of memory that VCache uses to 512 megabytes (524,288 KB) or less. Remember to save the changes to the SYSTEM.INI file and restart the system.

    NOTE: The values for these settings are in kilobytes. 1024 kilobytes = 1 Megabytes

    For example, if you want to create a 512-MB cache that cannot exceed 514-MB, the lines would be as follows:

    [VCache]
    MinFileCache=524288
    MaxFileCache=526336

     

  2. images/bullet2.gifOut of Memory Errors with Large Amounts of RAM Installed:

    Vcache is limited internally to a maximum cache size of 800 MB.

    This problem may occur more readily with Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) video adapters because the AGP aperture is also mapped to addresses in the system arena. For example, if Vcache is using a maximum cache size of 800 MB and an AGP video adapter has a 128-MB aperture mapped, there is very little address space remaining for the other system code and data that must occupy this range of virtual addresses (5/9/2002).

  4. images/bullet2.gifSpecifying Amount of RAM Available to Windows Using MaxPhysPage (5/9/2002).

    Using, msconfig, Limit Memory to <x> MB:

    This setting limits memory usage on your computer to the first <x> MB, where <x> is a number of megabytes. This setting adds the "MaxPhysPage=<nnn>" line to the System.ini file, where <nnn> is a hexidecimal value of the amount of memory to be used. If this setting is too low (16 MB or lower), it may prevent Windows 98 from starting normally.
