Memory Upgrade in Pentium II 233Mhz Computer
A friend has a Pentium II 233Mhz desktop computer running Windows 95. She had just 32 megs of memory. I bought and installed two 128mb memory modules and the computer recognizes them fine. Is there any downside in having 288 megabytes of memory in a Pentium II 233Mhz machine running Windows 95? How about Windows 98? I will be reformatting the friend's hard drive and installing Windows 98SE in a couple of days.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I don't know what downside there could be, especially from 32MB.
From what I can remember Win98se does perform faster then 95.
I think the only downside could be if you installed slower memory than what was there, but that is not a downside when you are talking 32MB. Any speed loss is more than made up for by 9 times more memory.
