If you know how to use ResEdit, make a copy of a clean 8.1 Finder, and 
open it with ResEdit. Open the SIZE resource and scroll down to the 
bottom. Then change the number in the "Size" box to 1572864. Quit 
ResEdit, saving the change. Then swap this altered Finder into your 
System folder and restart. No more Finder crashes due to tight memory.

If you don't know how to use ResEdit, I can send you an altered 8.1 
Finder. Contact me offlist.
