Adding RAM should improve your computer. Only in rare cases it will slow it down. Just install the RAM and judge performance. If you feel the computer runs even slower than before, reduce how much RAM you put in.

If you're using Win9x (including ME IIRC) you can't have more than 512MB.

Found on the page that I list at the end of this post
SYMPTOMS
If a computer that is running any of the versions of Windows that are listed above contains more than 512 megabytes (for example, 768 megabytes) of physical memory (RAM), you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
• You may be unable to open an MS-DOS session (or command prompt) while Windows is running. Attempts to do so may generate the following error message:
There is not enough memory available to run this program.
Quit one or more programs, and then try again.
• The computer may stop responding (hang) while Windows is starting, or halt and display the following error message:
Insufficient memory to initialize windows. Quit one or more memory-resident programs or remove unnecessary utilities from your Config.sys and Autoexec.bat files, and restart your computer.


At the bottom of that page that I post at the end of this

APPLIES TO
• Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
• Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition
• Microsoft Windows 98 Standard Edition
• Microsoft Windows 95


You can find this here.

Actually Win9x/Me have the limit of 768MB. Which was fine when they were mainstream, but not anymore There's some registry hack for a fix of up to 2GB, probably on annoyances.org

It may work, but I would look into that tweak first.
