Win9x seems to crash more often when having to use a lot of virtual
memory and hence do a lot of swapping. A major step towards
reasonable windows stability and reliability is to add more RAM. I've
personally noted that win98 systems in my neighborhood are a lot more
stable than before and this is most likely because the machines today
come with at least 32MB of memory. In fact 64MB seems to be the
standard. On top of that win98 is inherently more stable than it's
predecessors.

To minimize fragmenting in the system partition, in my last win98
days, I had moved all temp files and confined V Swapping to one
partition and then defragged that partition regularly. This and 64MB
of RAM at the time reduced crashes to a bearable minimum. :)
