There are of two kinds of System Resources: User Resources and GDI (Graphic Device Interface) Both types are limited to 64 KB. You can't change this number

Definitely take a look at that article jwbirdsong posted above...

One of the main points to understand is that the % of free resources has nothing to do with the amount of memory in your system - adding more won't change this percentage at startup.

However, the more memory you have (128MB-384MB recommended in Win9x) the better programs will run on your system and consume less resources at opening/closing. So in other words, you can't increase the %, but you can slow the process of its decline.

Also as a side note off topic, be careful about having too much memory in Win9x. More than 512MB is never recommended. Try and stay between 320MB and 384MB as your max...
