if you dont believe, try setting both max and min to
ZERO.
and run the game.
I think there is something else wrong
you did not mention your CPU.??
Right now I only have 256MB, but another 256MB DIMM is on it's way from
Crucial, so I posted asking for 512MB settings.. Maybe the problem will
go away just by adding the other DIMM?? (RAM Specs: Crucial (2x) 256MB
168-pin DIMMS 32Mx64 SDRAM PC133 Cas 2)

Upgrading to 512mb won't make a hell of a lot of difference in N4, but
since RAM is so cheap, why not? :D
Try disabling AGP 4x and see if that helps things.

Tried it myself, it killed Win98 completely. It refused to use the
swap file or unload proggies from RAM. Then you get "out of memory"
errors continually.
Tried to remove the line from system.ini, but windows had changed a
LOT of other settings and I couldn't recover it. So know I'm on win
2000 instead :D
