I guess that's the maximum of most current (Athlon) boards anyway, 3x512Mb
modules.

I think for Povray renders requiring much memory Windows (98) is not the
best system anyway.

This is quite curious because, AFAIK, the hardware limit in intel processors
(and clones) is currently at 64 GB (of course you can only address 4 GB at
a time because pointers are 32 bits long, but the whole 64 GB memory can be
used with some hardware paging mechanism).
On the other hand, we should not be so harsh about Windows in this specific
case. I have no idea what is the memory limit in Linux, but I wouldn't be
very surprise if it was 4 GB as well... If someone knows better, it would be
interesting to know.

As of when I last compiled the kernel (version 2.2.x), I could choose a
limit of 2 GB or 4 GB.
