as the computer is running the system recources drops to 8%...the only way to bring it back is to restart...is this normal??? etower 500i with celeron processor win98

When I was using Win98 I always ran a resource manager prog like RamBoost this white paper might help.
System Resources Decrease After Starting and Quitting a Program (http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q185/8/32.asp?FR=1)
