[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 1016036, member: 199791"] Annoyingly, it's a bit hit & miss, the theoretical memory limit for 95 is 2GB, but past 480MB and it starts crapping out (it was designed to run on a 386DX with 4MB of RAM after all!!), the official way to deal with it is to edit the vcache settings in the system.ini file, however, that's as far as I got as the M$ supprt for telling us how to do that is gone (though google would probably find it somewhere). Another option is setting up a RAMdrive to use up RAM therefore removing enough available RAM to stop it hitting the so-called "crash barrier", again, dunno how that works though... There's also the issue of chipsets on the motherboard, if it's not the right type or backwards compatible, 95'll just not work, which makes it a bigger PITA to diagnose issues in trying to make it work...
