You are correct..  98 does not like anything over 512.

If you are runing another OS and  have to ask why you need it, then you
probably don't really. It will have some over all performance gain but if
you are just using progs that would be happy with 512 don't waste the money.

I'll put it like this..  if you use photoshop, excel with large datasets,
anything video related etc. go for the gig. If you are just playing UT, use
word occasinally, browse web you dont' need it.
If you like telling people you have a GIG of RAM !!  buy it. If not don't.

It all depends on what you are using your computer for, that is why you
won't get one definitive answer.

btw.  i have a gig,  do i need it?  no.  why do i have it? because it was
bought for another mobo which i didn't end up buying and went for ddr
instead so i stuck the other 512 in this. Do i see a difference?  a little
but not as much if i was going from 128 to 256 or 256 to 512.  (in XP or
Linux). Should i sell it?  not yet you can never have enough ram.
