For performance and your swapfile in Windows (pagefile.sys), it is probably best if right after you boot windows the first time, you set both the minimum and maximum amounts to something sizeable - like 2x your memory, plus some. Then reboot so it runs on that setting, and then defrag your drive. Even better performance is if your swapfile is on a separate physical disk on a separate controller.
If you are gonna end up buying a new computer, get a Mac. You can even boot windows on 'em if you absolutely have to (of course there is a PPC version of NT 4.0....).
Oh, and keep the old machine, get a cheap KVM (~$30) and put Linux on it.
