First, why would you want to move from W98Se to ME?  ME is generally
reckoned to be the worst ever OS.

If you "upgraded" (many might argue "downgrade" I think) to fix OS
problems, that usually is NOT a good reason, in fact it often makes things
worse. Did you do a complete reformat first?
If not, you may be inheriting old problems.

<<am having resource problems>>

Please be more specific.

With those specifications, you should not be having any "resource"
problems. You have a surfeit of RAM--the system should really fly. Enough
RAM there to run ME twice over!

<<I'm using MaxMem.  Does that really work or just use up resources?>>

More likely the latter. But not enough to worry about in your case.

"Memory Managers" really don't make much, if any, real-world difference and
are not necessary.  I use Rampage, only because it uses no resources, but
honestly can't say it ever makes any difference to anything, though its
figures look mighty impressive.  I don't regard any of them as more than
cosmetic.

If you are getting freezes or whatever, look elsewhere. But we'll need a
lot more info and background.
