128 is adequate for like windows 9x .. if you are on 2000 or XP and trying to run two or more of the newer (2000 or XP) office products .. I would suggest 256 ... laptop memory isn't too expensive :) ... I was able to get 128MB (the max it would take) for my Compaq Armada 1700 for like $35 from MicroCenter (and its probably cheaper online)...

BUT ANYWAYS.. back to your real question...

I think partition magic is able to "resize" partitions.. not sure if it can do linux partitions or not, and as with anything like this, you risk having to re-install both sides anyways.

Since I am on 128 which I believe is adequate, I do not believe its RAM.
Its simply cannot run two of the following at the same time
(MSword/Excel/Winppt). I am tempted to think it is swap. I do not remember
dynamically asignoing swap size in the windows installation.

Windows dynamically manages the swap file space, so if you are low on
disk space, you are low on swap.
