We are looking to upgrade several PCs in the office. What is the maximum amount of memory that Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, and ME can use. I don't want to buy more memory than Windows can possibly use.

Generally, anything over 128MB is wasting money, unless some of the machines are graphics stations or programming stations. In those cases, consider going to 256MB or more. Just remember, that the real consideration needs to be how much memory each motherboard can handle. Hope this helps.

The motherboard will be the factor to determine how much memory,check the form factor and bus speed.
128mb is good enough to run present operating systems and the office applications ,including graphics apps.
Make sure the memory matches bus speed.
