![]() ![]() Currently the MaxFileCache setting is set to 256MB, which oughtta be enough for everyone :P and no problems have been detected as of yet. ![]() ( see ) memory for the GART device driver.Īnd apparently, this is causes a resource problem :)īy limiting the maximum size of the vcache, this doesn't happen (I'm typing this on the computer in question which is now running nicely with nvidia's unified driver v44.03 1024*768*32). So if you're running win98 on a machine with 1GB, the vcache will allocate 800MB worth of addresses, and if you happen to have an AGP-adaptor, that'll allocate some For example, if Vcache is using a maximum cache size of 800 MB and an AGP video adapter has a 128-MB aperture mapped, there is very little address space remaining for the other system code and data that must occupy this range of virtual addresses. This problem may occur more readily with Advanced Graphics Port (AGP) video adapters because the AGP aperture is also mapped to addresses in the system arena. Vcache is limited internally to a maximum cache size of 800 MB. Okay, time to bash some heads and finally prove that limiting (and thus never using the extra memory you put in your machine) your amount of physical pages is _not_ a needed measure.Ĭredits go to LeeTutor because the neccesary info came from the link he pasted (probably by accident :) but I don't care atm) Is there some weird nvidia-1GB-win98se issue going on? It would appear that win98se is unable to handle 1GB ram.for some reason, and only after trying to enable the videodriver (which is the blank screen before the desktop loads). The whole setup has also been tested on an Asus p4B533 with a P4-2533MHz (no HT) and an Asus v8170/64M videocard) and the issue is exactly the same. This error doesnt appear if one of the 512MB sticks is removed, or even when it's replaced with a 256MB stick (single sided) (so 512MB and 768MB ram total works just fine).Īll memory sticks have been tested using memtest86 and are ok. P4 3GHz with hyperthreading (doesnt help much with win98se, but that's not the issue atm :)Īfter installing a fresh win98se, all is wellĪfter installing the mainboard drivers (intel inf update), all is wellĪfter installing nvidia's reference drivers (44.03 or 43.45) windows returns a "Windows protection error" at the first bootup. Any reference to "memtest" is a reference to the memory testing program at The system consists of (key components listed only) :Ģ*512MB DDR333 ram sticks (doublesided), memtest'ed ok ![]()
