How much RAM?

Windows 98 has a bug that can cause problems if more than 511MB of RAM is installed.

How big is the Primary DOS partition on the boot drive?
Again, there are a few W98 bugs here.
Problems have been noted at:
32GB
64GB
132GB
I normally do not set up a boot partition larger than 31.8GB to avoid W98 issues.
