While I don't know the details about your situation or if Linux will make a difference, Linux is generally more stable and delivers better performance on the same hardware. If you actually ran out of space (combination of memory and swap) you could try making your swap file bigger. You can get "Live" Linux CDs or DVDs, which will allow you to see how well it works for your needs. You might try the one from opensuse.org. It should contain OpenOffice.
