 That's not really true.  If you read the article you'll see that 98/ME will
 work with > 512MB RAM, all you have to do is :
 "Use the MaxFileCache setting in the System.ini file to reduce the maximum
 amount of memory that Vcache uses to 512 megabytes (524,288 KB) or less. "
 I routinely run 768 MB of RAM under Windows ME using applications like
 pcGAMESS and have no problem getting all the memory I need.
