I used to run OOTP 6.x on my old computer with 128MB of RAM, of which between 16 and 64 MB were shared with onboard AGP graffics, and which playing games was quick, there was a lag of a few minutes to generate the box score, which led to some crashes I was none too happy about. So, i bought 128MB more of RAM, and all of a sudden...WOW. I was no longer able to smoke a cigarette in the time it took to move from one game to another.

Long story short (too late), just a lilttle bit of extra RAM above and beyond the minimum requirements can go a long way.

Also, check to make sure that there is nothing running in the background that is using too much of your CPU's thinking power. this can be a major drain on resources fro OOTP, until they can get the memory leak fixed in the new patch, of course.
