I beg to differ.  On Windows 98, you will actually start to see poorer
performance once you go above 256 MB because Windows 98 doesn't manage
larger amounts of memory effectively.  On newer operating systems such as
Windows ME, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, you would see a very significant
boost in performance by going to 512 MB of RAM, but not with '98.
