System Resources have nothing to do with the amount of RAM installed.
Resources here refer to two (OK three but the third isn't as significant) 64KB
stacks used by 16 bit programs and libraries. Their size is fixed and cannot
be increased.
You might want to have a look at Jim Eshelman's pages on System Resources at
http://aumha.org/win4/a/resource.htm where he explains the differences between
resources and memory.
One way of improving resources is to limit the number of applications being
launched each time you boot your PC and instead only opening applications as
and when required. A good place to look to for advice as to which programs
need to be run at startup and those that can be safely disabled is Pacman's
site where he lists what should definitely be retained and which can be safely
removed from the startup axis
(
http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_index.htm). Reducing such applications
and only starting them when required can free up significant resources.
