I agree that RAM is the problem. I have a laptop with 160 MB RAM. I have
both Win 98SE and Linux on it. I also use OOo 2.0 on both versions without
the problems you are having. You should also increase the amount of Virtual
Memory if possible. But even so, OOo 2.0 runs slower on my laptop than it
does on my desktop with 256MB RAM.
