Any hint how to avoid it?

I could never get more than 32 in hash as disk swapping was too great and rendered the pc useless for anything else. This applies to both win95 and win98 I fiddled around with other settings to try to get more but in the end figured in order to play a decent game I needed 128 minimum in each. Thanks.
