81% system resources free is extremely low for a 384Mb machine that's not
even running anything.  Having said that, Windows 98 is particularly bad at
dealing with large amounts of RAM.

Having no virtual memory configured is also a bad idea with Windows 98.  I
have no idea as to the reasons behind that, but it seems to really badly
affect performance in many cases.

Strange.  5-day old installation should be OK.  Are you installing standard
Windows 98, Windows 98SE, or a Compaq OEM'd version of Windows 98?

?  Not sure what you mean by that.
