  Closing well-behaved applications will free up any resources that
they are using.  Unfortunately, not all applications are well-behaved
(closing them will leave resources in use until the next reboot);
different applications make more or less use of resources.

  Unfortunately, adding RAM will not make any difference.  The
resource areas are relatively small (for compatibility with 16-bit
code) and cannot grow even if memory is available.
