Now... i hate to say this.. but I only have 128megs of RAM in this computer. Not to mension its PC66. If I have a few programs open, I have 20% free (I have a program running in the tray telling me). Then, if I close a program, I have less free than before. I know this is a cronic Windows problem, but any suggestions?

In my server i use rambooster, it clears out the ram when it reaches a certain amount free.. Takes awhile and a hell of a lot of CPU, but it's definitely worth it, especially if i leave my server running 4 a week or more
One day, we will die, when it comes...... i dunno, i'm not psychic!

So does internet explorer... but not much. Atleast it's more helpful than bad. As long as you set the refresh time to 30 seconds (its max, should be like 2 minutes) and use the least amount of options it offers and that would be useful for you. It takes nearly nothing.

Man oh man. I wish I can tell you my thoughts on RAM Booster. Also tell you something about Cable Tweaks lol.
I'm against Win98 and WinME. I'm against RAM Booster and Cable/DSL Tweaks. Long story also man Windows XP Memory management is great like Windows 2000. Seriously get 256MB of ram. www.pricewatch.com probadly get a stick of 128MB for about 5 bucks. 128MB is recommanded I say 128MB is shit. I use 256MB and a machine with 512MB no problems memory shouldn't be like Win98 or WinME seems like it is.
Try faster RAM PC-100 or PC-133 for that board and see if that does it but seriously get at least 256MB it's worth a try.
Oh and by the way PC-133 not being the fastest just for that board. Speed shouldn't matter by PC-66 is like EDO ram lol doesn't even exist no more.

What's wrong with cable/dsl tweaks? I use TweakXP and just ran the optimization wizard? Was that a bad idea?
