With a very similar system configuration I found a high number of over-
runs until I did two things: first cut back hardware accelaration on my
graphic board - Control Panel->System->Performance->Graphics->H'ware Acc
(I dropped it back two notches and it doesn't notice for what I do) and
second I fixed the size of the Virtual Memory: same route as above
except Virt Mem instead of Graphics and set upper and lower bounds the
same - in my case I chose 70MB (I read somewhere 2.5 times actual and
couldn't believe 80MB was needed).  Over-runs disappeared completely but
unfortunately I've never bothered to find out the relative impacts of
the two changes.
Hope that might help you.
Regards, Colin
