I also had a simular problem with my Pent. 100 with 32 megs of ram and win
98.
It worked ok until the harddrive ran out of space. Than I had periodic
crashes.
I've just installed a 15 gig 7200 hardrive and it works very good.  More
memory would help but I don't feel the computer is worth the upgrades.
 I can always use the 15 gig for an upgrade but 72 pin memory ram is only
useful for older machines.

Hope this helps,
mike michel
