Windows 95 & 98 are loathe to give up any of the base memory and you'll
find this is a real problem with older games, your best bet is to either
set up a dual boot or (as I did) but an old 486DX66, which is brilliant
as I can now play co-op Doom 2 and the like in my bedroom with a friend
sitting next to me. Really makes it work because of the covering your
friends back angle. Brilliant fun.
However, back to the subject of dual-boots. I'm not sure how easy it
is with Windows 98, tbh, but version B of W95 was a right bastard to
try it on (hence my purchase of a 486).
