I suggest you keep looking elsewhere for the cause. For the last three 
years I've been running all varieties of Turnpike on a Dell Dimension 
Pentium II 450 with 128MB and now 256MB of RAM without suffering 
crashes.

I'm about to replace this with a Dell 4400 P4 1.8Gig and haven't decided 
yet whether to instal the copy of  W2kPro I have had hanging around for 
a year. I hadn't bothered with the Dimension because 98SE has done so 
well.
