In need of some help | windows 98 laptop | syndicate wars

A couple of years back I had a urge to play some classic PC games from my youth, mostly championship manager 00-01. So I got myself a windows 98 laptop, it's a Pentium 4 with 1gb of ram.

I'm trying to install Syndicate wars and am getting a not enough memory error. I read that windows 98 struggles with 1gb or more of ram. I changed the vcache in system.ini to some settings I found online, it now let's me load the installer but instantly crashes

Any help please!

Yeah I should really look on GOG for most of my retro fix but the nostalgia isnt quite the same

Surley 1GB is enough? why is it crashing as soon as the installer launches?

I tried taking 512mb out and it still crashed, probably as mmj_uk said above but for what i actually use it the laptop does the job, Syndicate Wars is the only game ive had issues with
