Last year, I've tried PMODE 1.3 using the DOS version coming with Win98
on a 1.5 GB and
2GB machine and it was working well. Unfortunately my Win98 wasn't and
therefore 
I'm currently using upto 1GB.
At that time the largest DIMM modules available were 512 MB, so I had no
chance 
to check this with more memory.
