Answer: I\'m afraid you might be confused. Windows 98 offered modest but welcome improvements in the area of system resource usage (not the same thing as RAM usage). Near as I can tell, the only thing that might help Windows Me over Windows 98 in a related way is the removal of the read-mode support. When it comes to memory usage, an even more complex topic, Microsoft is downright mum. But the accepted wisdom is that Windows 9x not only doesn\'t utilize larger amounts of memory as efficiently as Windows NT or Win2000, but that at some point, throwing more RAM at it has really no discernible effect. My personal belief is that it\'s not cost effective to run more than 128MB of RAM with a Windows 9x PC. The proof about Windows Me\'s memory usage will come only after millions of people have used it in lots of settings. But I don\'t think anything has changed. You can expect the same level of RAM utilization under Windows Me as you have under Windows 98. There should, however, be an improvement under the consumer version of \'Whistler,\' the successor to both Windows Me and Win2000.
