What is the specific problem? Do you get frequent resource warnings?
I have never seen this warning, even with programs like Photoshop and
Illustrator open while surfing. The key is to keep backgound programs to a
minimum. More (unnecessary) programs means less resources available for the
programs you are using.
There is an excellent article about resources here:

An upgrade to XP would solve the problem, but be sure your system can handle
it.

Good luck.

I have windows 98SE and have problems with system resources. Since you claim
these other operating systems handle resources better than 98SE, do you
think upgrading to XP Home Edition would solve my problem?
I have been trying to trace where the problem is. I am thinking it is IE or
OE. I have version 6.0.
