Even if I reformat my C drive and re-install windows 98se from scratch
(and install ie 6 sp1), when I go to amazon.com it hangs my system and
I have to reboot. What gives? I haven't found another webstie that
causes this yet, so, I am very perplexed. Help.

If you mean your screen freezes up and you can't move your mouse anywhere,
and your only solution is to restart your system, then this points to a
video driver issue. Go to the web site of your video card manufacturer,
download and install the latest drivers for your card according to their
instructions.
As a work-around, you could turn down your video resolution, color depth or
hardware acceleration. Try the latter one first. If that or any combo of
the others work, then it points to a video driver issue.

Another thing to try would be to update your scripting engines:

That site also has a Flash ad, so make sure you have the latest version of
Flash:
