I just purchased a Pentium 400, with 124 MG of RAM, with Windows '98 from an
OEM.  I am a web developer with loads of programs on my machine -- I moved a
hard drive from another computer into this one so as not to lose everything
on it and spend hours reloading software.  I have a pretty clean desktop
with almost all shortcuts in folders.  I use FrontPage, which I was told
loads up all sites within a particular folder so I've separate those out
into individual folders (I have @150 web sites up currently).

I have had multiple crashes and after using my computer for 2-3 hours, I
always get memory errors.  My OEM tells me that this is not a hardware
problem but a software one, because of the programs I run.  He says that it
is, in particular, a Microsoft problem, because of the way that Windows '98
uses memory, that it doesn't "release" the memory for system usage after a
program is used.

Can anyone tell me if this might be true?

I would also like to run benchmarks on this new computer and would like to
know of a good program to use for that.
