98% is too high unless you have >2GB of RAM in your system. Try backing the slider off to 85%. If that helps a lot, you can try increasing it, say 5% at a time (remember you have to restart Photoshop after each change for it to take effect). Photoshop tries to guess how much of the memory in the machine it can get away with using -- that is, it measures memory and subtracts off a fudge factor. It's just a guess, it depends on your system and other software running, and the fudge factor is usually too small. It got further off this time, so if you were running with a very high memory percentage in 7, you probably need to reduce it in CS.
