That's funny.. I run a P3 733MHz with 128Mb of ram and have never ever had a recording failure, but the average problems are clipping and defragmentation.
I use a 20GB partitioned drive and send all audio to the non-OS partition. You should always up your system virtual memory and never point it to your OS partition. This is accomplished through the System Icon under the Control Panel. I would also recommend getting all the Windows updates for Win98, and regularly look for more. Uncle Microsoft is still pulling it apart and fixing problems inherent in the DOS layer.
