New Install Win98se-bogged down system

I recently re-installed win98se on this old HP Pavilion 6730 for my Grandson.
It has only 320 MB of Ram and a 10.2 gig hard-drive. My C-drive has free space of 8.35 gig.

I installed an Trendnet 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet PCI Adapter and am able to get on-line.

The problem is, when I get on-line, I'm limited to that one try. If I hit a link in a web-site, like this one, the page will slowly start to load, and then I get the "page will not display" notice.

Also, when I freshly boot and right\click My Computer\Explore, the menu quickly opns, but there will be the timer on my pointer for about 20 seconds, and then I'll click Explore and it quickly opens, but again the timer comes on my pointer again.

Something is dragging down my normal off-line and on-line attempt.

I've checked misconfig for startup items and unchecked those not needed.

I'll add more info.

Thanking you in advance for any help.
