you also might want to finsd a utility that reduces the size of your
hard drive cache.. windows burns RAM to cache your hard drives and if
you skip around alot in directories it will keep filling up and not
being used, dumped and refilled etc.. you can reduce how much RAM it
uses for this to practical amounts.
For instance, my dual Celeron 300A/256mb system running NT 4 wants to
use 32mb or more to cache the hard drive. i limited it to 4 mb.
