Peculiarities of Win98?
I remember reading on a website about some peculiarities of Windows98. An interesting one is that the logon dialog is just that--a dialog, so you can simply press "escape" and the dialog will end and you will then enter the system.
Most of the peculiarities, however, were about the memory management system of Windows98. It needs a minimum of 64MB of RAM (despite what the spec says) but doesn't really use more than 64MB of RAM.
I've also heard (from a different source) that you can get better performance out of Windows98 if you have more than 64 MB of RAM by using the excess memory for a RAM disk and putting your swap file there. But perhaps this is the same as setting the ConservativeSwapfileUsage variable on in the system.ini file.
For the life of me, I can't find the site where I learned of all this stuff. Can anyone confirm or deny these allegations? Thanks!
