If you use Win 9x (95 / 98 / ME) you *could* get problems because these versions just support 512 MB RAM (see MS knowledge base). More than 512 MB RAM is actually slowing down your system a bit because of MSī *bad* implementation of the memory management routines. As a rule of thumb for Win 9x up to 256 MB RAM speeds up your system, from 256 to 512 it depends on the actual application if your system speeds up or slows down and more than 512 is not supported by MS and your system is slowed down a bit.
If you have an otherwise compatible system and updated all relevant drivers but still have *mysterious* problems try downgrading your system to 512 MB RAM.
And remember this just applies to Win 9x - for NT / 2000 feel free to add up to 4 GB

Hope that helps.
