It's a DOS game. Most DOS games were not programmed to expect systems which have in excess of 64 MB RAM (and much less in some cases).
The actual problem is that you have too much memory.

It's a graphics card, not a memory expansion.
So you just blew cash on an expensive component that doesn't have anything to do with solving the problem.

That doesn't count for anything with these games, sorry. Page file wasn't invented back then. :p

The onboard memory of your graphics card can't be used for regular system processes.

Duh, use DOSBox. A beginner's guide to DOSBox should get you started with the basics.
