With your specs I don't recommend using VirtualPC or VMWare.
It depends on your O/S you are planning on running tho. On my laptop I have 512mb of ram and have a hard time with VMWare as it is. Because you are running 2 O/S and you also need at least 500mb of memory for an install of Windows 98. and recommend requirement for RAM on 98 is 128 (in VMWare) so your PC is going to run REAL slow.

Edit: I forgot to add that when you create a virutal PC and specifiy the size of the drive for that virutal machine VMWare creates a file that big that is used to store the O/S and such. Default size is 2gbs (but you can change it)
