Yes, so I have been told.  I stand corrected and less ignorant than I was
prior to having the meaning of system resources explained.  I do appreciate
everyone's patience with me and helpful explanations,  Despite my wrongfully
using the wrong indicator, my experiences still remain the same regarding
the Ram over 512 MB being utilized in my system and setup under Win 98.

Tony is correct.  The system resources have nothing to do with free RAM in
general,
only with available space within the fixed User, System and GDI blocks.
