I haven't done a test like you did. On my TX mobo PC, I have 96Mb RAM (64+32), I
use win98 with latest upgrade. Before, I had 64Mb RAM, after I added another
32Mb, I can notice a performance increase when running games (about 2 fps
increase), everything else seems no change. I have been using Cool 3D 2.5 which
is a "resourse hurger", 96M RAM doesn't help it load up, but does help after
that.
