Bois... it's 512 for 4 mths of pre 2nd edition then Second Edition Ver .1 had 512 ram support... then Mac OSX 8.1 gave support for 1gig ram so Second Edition Ver .2.4 via Windows Update gave support for 1 gig of ram... very glitchy stuff tho... it wasn't "perfected" untill Windows 2000 which gave the first 2 gig support and paved way for x64 bit processors and much later added Windows XP x64 bit edition which was 2003/2004...

can you use more than 1gb ram with the unofficial patches


I know this video is old and your question has probably been answered, my understanding as the 9x kernel is built ontop of DOS, it will assume anything more than 1GB of RAM (1024MB) would overflow and result in a negative RAM value. I got it to boot on 1.1GB RAM (1152MB). Some examples of this can happen on some older program installations such as Sims 1 when you have more than 2GB of RAM in your system.

Take this with a grain of salt as I'm not 100% sure if this is true, I know patches exist and workarounds but realistically, I don't think there's any program that'll run on any Windows 9x system that'll be able to utilise more than 1GB of RAM. Not to mention Wikipedia states 98 is not designed to work with more than 1GB, this cited to a Microsoft page but no longer works as it "doesn't redirect properly" anymore

Like an 8-bit system interpreting 257 as 2.

Earlier versions of windows, earlier than windows 95, actually work with extended RAM. They just are limited to the 32-bit capacity, which is a little under 4gb.

Guy is just some microsoft patches in virtual memory files. There are good amount of tutorials how to push the ram to the real limit witch is 4gb (32 bit limit)


Maybe Windows 98 doesn't like too much RAM! Try 1 GB.

There is a patch, but the man who made it sadly passed away. You could ask the people who downloaded it on msfn.

I've tried at 1 GB (1024 MB) and still works.


I know this is old, but from what I heard its because of the memory manager, thee is actually a patch that allows it to work with 4GB (there is also a patch that improves performance on systems with more than 128MB, part of the unofficial service pack iirc, but you can prob get it separately), there are also patches that help it with faster CPUs, although still single core only for obvious reasons. I've had good luck with the patches just messing around in VMs, but as those VMs dont have proper driver support, I wasn't really able to test anything like games (as a stability test), may see if I can get it going in qemu (which supports emulating a cirrus logic card as the gpu). Although TBH, anything over half a gig is absolutely overkill for Windows 98 (then again setting up overkill builds can be fun). Another note, with Windows 98 at least, the official limit is 1GB of RAM unpatched, but I've heard anything over 700MB can be unstable, but as I said with the memory and CPU patches, it works fine with the little testing I've done..


Simply Windows 98 does not support this amount of RAM, it confuses and shows that error (or simply, Microsoft did not think of a specific error message for these situations).

I think win98 won't run on 2GB because it's from the 90s and it actually doesn't support the ram. 1GB is the limit but 512MB is a nice amount

Yeah. 512 mb boot more faster than 1024 mb (1 GB).

@@echoesofdawn_official same. Even I'm commenting using this emulator. And I'm setting 512 mb and that's recommended because it will boot way faster. XD

Consider using 256 or 512 MB if you're using 98 (or dualbooting it with XP).

On DOS based Windows(or DOS In General), the RAM Support is capped at around 1 GB for 16-bit versions of DOS and Windows based on DOS. 32-bit versions of DOS and Windows based on DOS will officially Support 2 GB of RAM (or it's suppose to anyway). Because of that Limitations(Among many other reasons), the NT Kernel was introduced in Consumer Windows. the most notable release would be Windows XP, the first consumer Windows with the NT technology. 32-bits were now capped at 4 GB because of physical limitations of the Processor. Every version of Windows after XP (Vista, 7, 8.1 and 10) have been based off of NT Technology.


It happens on every 9x version (95, 98, ME, I believe even 16-bit Windows 3.x) when you add more memory than 512/1024 MB (I don't remember exactly).


Me: installs 128 GB RAM DDR4
Windows 98: insufficient RAM

Me: *installs 128 GB RAM DDR4*
Windows 98: insufficient RAM


Overload of ram can cause graphical contrast dispder and also overwhelmingly heat the CPU . To percent the action of overheating Microsoft has disinged win 98 and other of it's is to allow the software to run on sufficient bits of ram which gets removed after the realse of win 7


Windows 98, and all of the 9x DOS cores does not like more than a GB of ram, and cannot initialize Windows, and thinks that there's not enough RAM to start windows and stops. If you somehow remove this check though, it possibly can boot, but will have problems. This protection is made to protect your sensitive data.


As far as I know:
What happens is Vcache (the disk cache in RAM) consumes more RAM as the total system RAM goes up.
At a certain point Vcache consumes so much RAM during boot that the system fails to boot.
This point is, depending on the software and updates you have installed, around 1GB of RAM.

Windows 98 doesn't support that much ram. In fact, if you use too much, it can not handle it and then it treats it as a very low amount of ram that it can handle (which is usually about 4mb) and windows can barely or wont run on it. It is recommended to use 512mb or less.


Since this is a old version, it could not support that many. Ussualy,  the least amount of RAM was 8mb, Since I used one.


It was 2 RAM for Windows 98

(i swear that wasn't a joke about the title)

*It was 2 RAM for Windows 98*

*(i swear that wasn't a joke about the title)*


Windows 98's RAM filesytem doesn't detect such amount of RAM. So it probably crashed and tell the bootloader random ram numbers that were very small. So bootloader decides to not proceed to evit overheating and components damage.


User: Puts 2GB of RAM<br>Windows 98: NO! Don't put me on 2GB! You're trying to underestimate me!

User: Puts 2GB of RAM
Windows 98: NO! Don't put me on 2GB! You're trying to underestimate me!


It's because FAT32, which windows 98 runs on, has an inefficient data usage which causes it to have to limit itself to read only small chunks of data so that there is no increased data rot especially in the memory as if it's main systems for managing quick data changes were too big for FAT32 to read, lots of data may be damaged, this was changed in NTFS (windows vista+) but it relied on how many different combinations of binary E.G. 32Bit = 192 different combinations (which before xp was only 16 bit) was why XP can have 2gb+ RAM but 64 bit NTFS maximum RAM is apparently 2000GB but unfortunetly whith our current RAM sticks, we can only get 128GB of RAM.


There are 2 reasons
1. Your virtual had error
2. Windows 98 cannot take on too many GB.


imagine if the maximum storage of win98 is 1TB

Or the maximum storage of Windows 10 was 1PB (1 petabyte (1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes (saying that 1KB is 1000 bytes, 1MB is 1000KB, 1GB is 1000MB, 1TB is 1000GB and 1PB is 1000TB)))

The "It's now safe to turn off your computer." thing at 0:46 is a bug on Windows, he even talked about it

sense computers were old there was no support for more than 1gb of ram


what is the song you use at the beginning of the video? The Intro?


Becuase windows 98 is 32bit and the max amount of ram for 32 bit is 1.5 gig


Everybody gangster till your computer scares you to turn off the pc


0:02 it sounds like the enderman on-screen is saying Zune, or Boom, or Doom.


This happens because Windows 98 is an old system and by that time 128MB of RAM were available, so Microsoft had only support for low amounts of RAM like that and couldn't support higher RAM amounts like 2GB or 4GB and so on. As Microsoft only expected those quantities of RAM by the time Windows 98 was released they only supported that. Try setting low quantities of RAM like 128MB or if you want you can try 1GB. (I know this is an old video and he has probably fixed this but this is for people that want to test old OS'es like Windows 98 or 95)


When my dad's work got windows 98 computers back in 1999, the computer builders inserted a 1GB Ram. And thats exactly what happened


The system overflows at 1 GB so it thinks 2 GB is -1 GB, which isn't nearly enough to start (and negative RAM doesn't (and can't) exist anyway).


hmm it's totally NOT obvious if 1 Gig no work then do 95 GB!

hmm it's totally *NOT* obvious if *1* Gig no work then do 95 GB!


because win98 is designed run on a 512mb ram machine and this is a very huge number , that means in that time 2GB of ram = 64GB of ram nowadays. So it is totally normal and it will only recognize 640kb of ram.and 640kb is way too small to WIN98


Windows 98 seeing that it has 2gb ram:<br>Wow, that's... big

Windows 98 seeing that it has 2gb ram:
Wow, that's... big


i saw is sad turn off your computer and restart a computer


I think system files do not support 2 GB and more.


Honestly, it probably has to do with the way microsoft wrote windows 98 and how it handles memory. 1GB being the maximum without patches.


remove the line that checking amount of RAM boom then Win98 can boot on 768k RAM without not enough ram error


This is normal, Windows 98 cannot handle so much RAM


wait... how my 2005 laptop runs on 3GB ? (it is sooo buggy but still usable)


Windows 98 does not support 2 gbs of ram because it is 32 bit, and 2 gbs is a 32 bit integer so it crashes the OS


mh. Peut être que Windows 98 est tellement ancien qu'il confond entre les GB et les MB... Très étrange, et excellente vidéo !

Maybe 4GB is read as like 4KB by Windows 98 in terms of RAM.


maybe because Windows 98 cant control 2GB of RAM,and those unused RAM  will fxxk up the system


Windows 98 cannot detect large amounts of RAM


<b>its now safe to turn off your computer</b> i saw that

*its now safe to turn off your computer* i saw that


I don't know why but I guess it's Microsoft thinking Windows 98 won't be used in the future and, thinking of a typical PC from '98s, this is most probably normal to happen.


i noticed this too... i have a hardware windows 98 coputer and i figured it culd use a little more ram so i put 1gb in it (1gb and 512mb) and windows 98 flipped out


Maybe bcs laptops and computers back then are supposed to have way less ram. Avg ram back then was 256 mb I think.


An interesting thing is my computer is Windows 10 and it runs just fine on 1GB of ram (no joke!) and it runs Minecraft just fine, strangely


Windows 98 second edition actual limit: 1152mb. (Not sure. My emulator doesn't have scroll ram selection.) And 1160 will react like that.


Did anyone see the thumbnail? It says "turn off your computer."

The error appears because the Windows 98 was made in 1998.
In 1998 Every computer had 512 MB of RAM but the maximum that can handle Windows 1998 is 1 GB of RAM.
Deal with it.


I think is a bug due memory allocation (16 bits systems used to work with less of 1GB RAM.).. I have to make some calcs to prove it in first instance...


Windows 98's max RAM support is 1GB. Try using that instead.


Windows 98 only supported up to 500 MB or 1 GB of ram (depending on hardware). Go past that, doesn't start up.


16-bit operating systems don't support more then 1 gb of ram, because they run on the bios, but 32-bit operating systems have drivers so they can use more ram and the arhictecture is different.

/facepalm  Noooooo 16-bit programs don't run in bios. (Os is a program) 16-bit is the architecture of the processor (8-bit 16-bit 32-bit 64-bit) your fancy newfangled processors can run 8 bit software fine on bare metal (No emulation)


It’s because Windows 98 can’t address that much memory, so it gets confused and quits. Either that, or it’s getting some weird number of RAM, and that weird number isn’t enough, so it dies.


As I know, it is because you need to add 1 line in the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS


I think there are patches to get Windows 98 running with more modern hardware. Look up UBCD on Michael MJD's channel.


You get to the limits, it's an integer number (2gb = -1gb or 4gb = -???mb)

Its becase this windows is a hybrid 16 and 32 bit system. Its mixed with dos. So it cant read (and allocate) more than 1gb of ram, so it dont allocate any ram becase it cant read all of the installed and crashes becase it dont have any ram.
Windows 95 is limited to something like 768mb of ram, and doesnt like 1gb.
But there is some patchs/fix to make win98 read more than 1gb of ram. I dont know why would you need more ram to windows 98 anyway, but it can be done even for windows 95.

Eduardo Avila Windows 95 was a bitch about ram... you needed CDRNerds CD-ROM Ram Hax if you wanted more than 256 MB after installing Windows 95 back in the day...

DeJay_Incognito Yeah i know. But with a good cd, a duron motherboard of better is now easier to install it. I installed it once with 512mb and then put more 256mb and it was ok. But i didnt had my original cd, i took one from some download website. I still have the key tho. I wonder if the fixes for more ram in 95 were awready added to that cd.

DeJay_Incognito  but if you think that its minimum requiriments were 4megs, it was way up with 256mb, so it would be tolerable. And win98 is more tolerable and stable (on my machines at least) and support up to 1gb of ram or 1,5gb, dont remembrr exatly.

Eduardo Avila yeah... but I just usually have alot of task open.... heavy tasks at that time... while also having a DOOM server so alot was happening...


It did not work because you exceeded the RAM limit that can support Windows 98.

Low: 40MB

Recommended: 200MB

High: 1GB


windows 98 limits your maximum ram thats why its wont boot


98 literally will not accept more than one gig of RAM.


Windows 98 is hard coded to only support up to 1 GB of ram. Even then it is still a little dodgy.


Because Windows 95/98 doesn't have the right drivers because it doesn't have enough space


It's probably because Windows 98 is a 16-bit system and 16-bit systems can't handle more than 1GB of RAM.

Windows 98 and the PCs taht used to run it could only detect a max of 512MB of Ram


Too much ram that it doesn't even fit into memory


Hey enderman! Can you send VMWARE link +1?


Windows 98 recognize GB like MB. For W98, 2 GB of RAM is like 2 MB of RAM.

But 1GB should be like 1 Mb right? That's would be more than insufficient.


There is a way to remove the limit but I'm not telling you.


I hate the use of VMs. I prefer to use the actual hardware whenever possible.

AFAIK, I think that Windows 98 SE was only supported up until 2004 or so.  By then, the max I think it could support was 512 MB, since you'd have to have Win XP to support anything more than that, iirc.  Could be wrong, though.  Not to mention that I'd have to think that 160GB HDDs are perhaps the most capacity that Win 98 SE could support.

Robert Morin The harddisk space you said is correct... But win98 supports up to 1gb of ram

Well, true, but I think that anything released prior to a Pentium 4 PC, maybe it's the Dell OptiPlex I have Win 98 SE on, it seems the GX110 only can take up to 512 MB (probably because it was a small form factor desktop).

Robert Morin There were many pentium 3 motherboards that suported up to 1gb. Yours support less... But you tried one stick of 1gb or two of 512mb? Because if the motherboard supports up to 1gb, it needs two 512mb sticks to accomplish that. I have two amd durons, one support up to 1gb and other support up to 2gb i think.<br>But yeah, its common to find old motherboards limited to 512mb, its because their chipset.

It cannot recognise GB ant it reads 2 GB as 2 KB/MB, so it thinks the memory is not enough and it does not boot.


I think it is just a Virtual Machine Bug


It's because Windows 98 Ram Can only go to 512MB


Idk it’s just telling you it’s now safe to turn off you computer


Why did it say * It’s Safe To Turn Off Your Computer Now.* at 2G?

Because pressing key at the error will shut down Windows.

I've try it myself on Limbo pc emulator and it's not displaying that message instead pulling the system to the home screen.


Windows 98 was made in a time when 2GB of RAM was thought to be impossible, however due to the 32bit integer limit any number higher than this limit would simply be turned negative so that it could still keep counting so basically Windows 98 thnks you have negative memory

Except 32-bit ints overflow at 4GB not 2 which is why all 32-bit OSes max out at 4GB, not 2, unless it's using signed ints for memory which would be...stupid to put it lightly

@@Scoopta Well clearly something is going on so if it's not an overflow I dunno what it could be. I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to use signed ints for no reason, and clearly 2GB is causing weirdness on its own, so the logical conclusion would be that it's using signed ints. Unless of course it's completely unrelated to overflow.

@@thevectrex1482 is 2GB actually the problem or is it just the what enderman chose to use? For some reason I thought I heard 9x doesn't like anything over 480MB and stuff over 512MB is when things start to really go south. I haven't actually tested it. I have a 98 VM myself so maybe I'll give some different values a go


Because system is low of memory so it couldn't start


Cuz Windows 98 Is 1GB Of Ram And Windows XP Too!


Windows 98 doesn't Supports more than 1 GB of RAM... I did a similar thing in Windows 95, but just because i wanted enough ram to install Windows Vista individual machine


Maybe the number of RAM bytes is stored in a signed 32-bit integer, that means that if you have more than 2 GB of RAM, Windows might think you have a negative amount of RAM!

Adrien G yup... stack overflow is the shorter term for that

I think that it deffinetly does something with overflows. And to cause the same issue on Win10? Get a RAM with over 9 qvintillion bytes... yeah...


back after 2019 or 2020.. we can consider it 2020 on 12/1/2019 ( date of comment )


Don't mess with ram gods on poor Windows 98 what can't hold the power of 2 GB ram and more.


I think cause its the windows 98 thinking its so less ram than 289 mb

I think you mean Windows 98 thinks 2GB is 1MB


there actually is a workaround by adding these lines to SYSTEM.INI:
[386Enh]

MaxPhysPage=30000

[vcache]

MaxFileCache=393216


and win 98 don't work with 2GB RAM try 5 GB or 4GB RAM


I think windows 98 doesn't support 2GB RAM...Like windows 10 home doesn't support more than 128 GB RAM.


<b>It's now safe to turn off your computer.</b>

*It's now safe to turn off your computer.*


just like 32 bit windows cant have more than 4GB of ram so...


You reached the maximum and you can't boot win98 because  reached the limit of ram and.


Win 98 don't think it was that a virus so was kill safe mode


It will be work if you replace Himem.sys XMGR.sys, edit device=Himem.sys to DeviceHigh=Himem.sys at config.sys and install memory patch.


i'm guessing that the amount of RAM you have available isn't enough to run the Operating System

i think it doesnt boot bc the ram that he had available is way to much, because win 98 cant have 2 gb of ram

run win98 under 512GB it says not enough ram

run it under 512MB it works


wait what?<br>i can run win xp in 500 mb

Yup, the minimum is 64MB. It can easily run with half a gig.


OS's have a cap on how much ram they can have. I'm pretty sure that Windows 10 (64 bit) can has several terabytes of RAM.

Cookieglue eh... not quite.... actually it has support for 912gb RAM (if you love BSOD)... Windows NT 2014 R2 has support for 2 TB of (DDR4 only) RAM... if you love being greeted with a :( after you login

Thanks. Thruthfully, I was too lazy to google it. Instead I decided "hey some smart person will know", and you did.

So thank you!

64bit integrer limit is over 9 qvintillion... so it can handle over 9 qvintillion bytes... i think?<br>(9 qvintillion = 9 000 000 000 000 000 000)

64bit integrer limit is over 9 qvintillion... so it can handle over 9 qvintillion bytes... i think?
(9 qvintillion = 9 000 000 000 000 000 000)

Tomas Krizko, you're incorrect. I'm sure Windows 10 Home can support up to only 128GB of RAM, and Pro, around 512GB (if I'm correct)


Preview: turn off your computer silly boy you even isnt done with homework


While i was watching my tablet froze and when i opened YouTube again IT WAS DIFFRENT. God help me plz


The max is 1gb of ram, has to do with 32 bit operating systems or something.

1GB limit was the thing up to Windows 98, but you're partially right - 32-bit systems can only support up to 4GB of RAM. Unlike 98, systems like XP, 7, 8 etc. will run fine if RAM capacity is beyond what OS can use, it's just they detect that there's only 4GB of RAM.


Windows 98 max is 1158 mb of ram I think


it's windows 98 it's old it can only have 1GB of ram


Windows 98 is too old to support more than 1GB of ram


1:18
So, I guess that there is not enough RAM for Windows to boot.

1.5GB is the Max you can Have. 1534MB I think...

1.5GB = 1500MB if the 1000 byte rule applies<br>1.5GB = 1536MB if the 1024 byte rule applies

1.5GB = 1500MB if the 1000 byte rule applies
1.5GB = 1536MB if the 1024 byte rule applies


Windows 98 like 1gb ram, 2 gb doesn't like.

And 512 MB are their favourite ram number.


or just try 9999 ram will it break or not


Windows 98 is too low for a Memory too speedy


Do you must make windows 95 with small or/and high


1gb is max 2gb was way to much for the time

93 -> 98
I think you mean Windows 98 thinks more than a gigabyte is a megabyte


its cause windows 98 only works with 1gb of ram ok never try adding more ram


after the windows NT or windows new technology
the windows can support infinity ram if the  hardware supports 9 terabytes of RAM the windows will run but he not gonna use all te RAM on DOS the limit of RAM is limited because the DOS don't use the architecture POSIX
you can read more on these links
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT
on DOS the limit of RAM is selected by  the binaries of the windows 95 and DOS
today on windows 10 the DOS is used on CMD and emulated by windows NT
however the windows NT continue to have death screens :(
but with a less frequency  on DOS you can wipe the drive that contains DOS when the DOS is running test this

sorry for my english iam brazilian and iam learning english


It Wouldn’t Work Since The Max Ram For Windows 98 is 128mb Of ram.

Windows 98 can support more than 128 megabytes of RAM


My best guess is that Windows 98 is a 32-bit operating system that works on two's complement binary system. With that, it's memory range would go up to a bit under 2GB, and when the limit is breeched it will flip around and go to around -2GB, and the system will interpret it as such.


Guys, Windows 98 can't handle more than 512MB ram.

actually it can handle up to a gig, not up to half a gig. Maybe you've never used a Windows 98 computer with between 512 and 1024MB of RAM.

So it sees more than two GB like memory wasn't even there. Did you catch my point?

Windows 10 x64: "16GB? Pfft. GImme more, so I can reserve 50% for no reasons. Buy an SSD, too, you lazy fuck so I can dump more bloatware trash on it!"


Raymond Chen wrote an entire article on this I think. The vmm32 that’s included in windows 9x starts sapping away RAM after you reach 512 megs. There was a man by the name of Rudolph Loew who fixed it, but he sadly passed away. However, you could ask the msfn forum if someone has the patch.
