Since when did Win98 have a 512M RAM limitation?

Your mobo may have a limitation, however. Check the manual, or go to the
support area of the mobo manufacturer's web site if you can't find it.

The physical act of adding RAM is generally easy, although after pushing
ribbon cables around to get at the RAM sockets, make sure their connectors
haven't come unseated.
