Just bought new memory - what to do next?

Hi,

I have a Toshiba 4010CDT laptop from 1999, with a PII 266 processor, 4gig HD, 32meg ram onboard, a wireless card, running windows 98. I have a wireless router on a cable modem. I only use my system for surfing the web.

I just bought another 128meg of memory and installed it on my machine. Wow does it make a big difference!

My question is, is there anything configuration-wise I need to do to optimize the memory?

Thanks,
 
Hehe, your date's quite wrong there! PII 266, that'd be more like 96/97!

Um, well windows 98 wasn't the best with managing memory. Not much I can think to do other than perhaps change your paging file to a set amount. It's been a while since I used 98, but I think you can right click on My Computer, Proporites, then click the last tab, and maybe performace(sorry, it's a bit different than XP) Then just set it to say 384. Maybe more, but if you mostly use it for the web, I'd think that'd be enough...
