prolyy cus you weren't do crap with the machine.

up to about a year ago, my company used 98. I would constantly get calls about random wierd ****. First thing i would do is check the pc's sys properties for how much system resources were available. if under 10 %, reboot. problem solved.

i did research on the problem and found out that there's two different resource heaps that a 98 box uses, GDI and user. Also, no matter how much memory i put into the machine, the heaps stay at their same limits.
