Subject: Only 128m practical for W98: Cygwin, Apache, Tomcat, & Emacs?

(this is borderline on topic, but I'm not quite sure of the best place
to ask this.)

I use NT at work, which is configured with Cygwin, Apache, Tomcat,
Emacs, and other things.  I have 256m RAM on it.  Things work
reasonably well.

I have a W98 system at home, which until now I haven't pushed very
hard.  It "only" has 128m RAM.  I'm finding that after running Apache
and Tomcat, and running Emacs and some occasional scripts (using
Cygwin tools), the system becomes quite unstable in abnormal ways,
like "xargs" or "find" dying, or getting big "Almost out of resources"
dialogs, before the system gets completely hung.

The question is, is this situation likely to improve if I increase my
RAM from 128m to 256m?
