My computer can handle up 500 mb of memory, because of tech broke
one the plastic plug. It can only handle 256 mb stick at the most.
The stick order does not matter, from what I have read.
My computer was a business system built by Compaq and was giving to
me, when the business upgraded to xp.

As evidenced recently some of our more rural cousins do not have the

My VPC machines use a virtual S3 Trio 32/64 PCI.
(The host box has a Radeon 9600. )
My virtual 98 install allows for 32-bit color and 1600 x 1200 screen
resolution, while the host currently only allows and is set at 1280 x 1024.
If I set the virtual OS to 1600 x 1200, the window that it runs in is bigger

Do yourself a favor and get a computer that was manufactured this

modem question and modem string wanted
Is it ok to have an isa modem and pci modem installed at the same
time?
I have a dual boot system.
98se and xp.
98se and puppy Linux live cd does recognize my ISA modem (cl-md56xx
cirrus logic)
Windows xp does not.
However, xp does recognize the ESS 1868 ISA sound card.

Perhaps one of you who is running a virtual machine and _doesn't_ have
the problem of it only giving VGA (640x480 16 colours) could go into
Display Properties, and tell us what hardware the VM "thinks" it's

I'm not ready for it yet, but XP could be the one when the time comes. I
trust your instincts & experience, Colorado, & I know not all your
brains have fried & oozed out. And hopefully -- by then -- radiation
