I don't think so, I think you would get Windows 98SE and my pc, witrh 256 works
fine. I did upgrade from Win95 OSR2 last week and it was using the 256 MB
regularly as well.

Fritz can enjoy the extra ram at slow time controls: you can igve him more than
128 MB of ram and still fill the hash sometimes. For sure if you use CB with two
engines running and/or use the switch-engine of fritz you will benefit of the
extra ram. Of course in the engine-engine matches it helps as well. Finally ram
is very good for any mmedia app like an image manipulator.
