I don't think it can be done. You can use a workaround if you have more memory than 512 mb but Windows 9x/me will be restricted to that 512 mb.

What on earth do you need more than 512mb ram on a win98 machine anyway?

Reason to have lotsa ram
1. Allocate 384mg to Quake 3 and the rest to the system
2. Tell people i have more ram then i do cache
3. Useing the ram chips as dust covers of the empty slots
4. loading the same game 10 times, so that it preloads the whole thing into ram. them telling your freinds, that you can load games as fast as you open explorer windows
5. It gives you an excuse for loading windows to slow, you tell people it's because of the high ram count which it performas at the start.
