Agree I do...
Memtest86 is excellent (boot to a disk with it on it)
Webroot Spy Sweeper will get u all checked out.
Upgrade your Outlook (if it will let you on 98)
Dump Firefox! It is a resource hog... Get avant browser or Maxthon (get avant)
If you dont have a firewall, install one... Sygate is free and awesome!
What are you using for anti-virus? If your answer is anything besides NOD32 or Symantec Corp. than you need to change badly! Norton and McAfee are resource hogs.. NOD32 has passed 33 consecutive tests with a 100% detection rate, and it is super-good on resources... You can install a trial of it.
Never defrag with the windows defragger (or the norton one)... get perfect disk, or O & O...
If you have an old version of norton system works laying around, run the WinDoctor tool off of the cd (don't install it)
Download TuneUp Utils (free trial) and run all tests! Defrag the registry with this as well!
Open your case and make sure everything is screwed in tightly, and all connections are good... Check all cabling etc.
Keep an eye on all your fans to make sure they are working.
Using canned air, remove all dust from your pc.
If you need more help just ask!
