Info : Memory and Resources on PC

Hi all, I must confess to have not understood what the difference is between
"memory" and "resources" - both of which seem to be in short supply now and again on a Win 98 PC.
I found this reasonable explanation in the MemoryBoost Pro 2.5 Help File.
(Tenebril/Rose City SW). What do you think of this ?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
System resources are a special part of memory that Windows uses to draw things on the screen, open files, and perform other menial but important and frequent tasks. System resources are important because, on Windows 95, 98 and ME, they are limited in size (in contrast, Windows NT, 2000 and XP can expand the system resources if necessary). If system resources are exhausted, your computer effectively grinds to an immediate halt. Since system resources are used for everything, the computer doesn't even have the chance to display a warning window, or take necessary steps to protect your computer. Because system resources are so precious, computers often crash when they become scarce.
There is no good way around this problem. On the aforementioned Windows versions, the amount of system resources is strictly limited. No matter how much memory you buy, or how fast your computer is, your system resources will never expand and the danger of losing them will never diminish. Unlike conventional memory, there is no way to reclaim dead system resources or compact the existing ones--the technology MemoryBoost uses to increase your memory cannot be used on system resources. No application can ever solve this problem, because system resources are managed deep inside Windows. They are so fundamental to the way Windows works, it's impossible to manage them from outside.

If all that is correct, it explains why many folks have problems now and again
- not now and again, but again and again and again ...
You may have something to add to the above ?
