Hi Kristin
I am running FG 9.8 on a 2G atholon with 512 meg ram
and a fx5200 Nvidia graphics card and I have no problems.
As Paul says the onboard graphics maybe the problem.One
way,I guess,to test it would be to throw another graphics
card into the AGP slot and see what happens.
Cheers
Innis

Kristin, you may want to play around with the OpenGL video drivers for your
Via graphics controller as that is the most likely cause of the distorted
graphics and could very well be causing the system lockups too.
I used to have lots of system lockups under Win98 with various pieces of
DirectX and OpenGL software until I installed a more up to date video
driver
for my video card.
(I've had less video hassles under Linux than Win98 or XP which is a bit
ironic.)
Unfortunately some graphics cards have poor or non-existent OpenGL support
in
this MS DirectX infested world and I'm not sure how good the OpenGL
implementation of Via graphics controllers is.
Regards
Paul
