I no longer have a Windows ME machine to check the exact procedure. Instead you'll have to rely on Google:

If you read the Memory and Optimizing Windows articles at http://www.aumha.org/articles.htm you'll find out all that most will need to know about this.

Windows NT, 2000, XP, 2003 and beyond do not have this limitation.
