If you would decide to have a second partition on your machine (or better: no second one, only one ... :-) ) and put linux on it, everything should run smooth. Maybe you'll run into octave promlems, maybe you'll run into usage problems with octave / emacs - but your system won't play games with you. And after a whole bunch of "not enough environment space", not spawmable processes, simple crashes, missing capabilities (especially what regards stdin / stdout - octave - gnuplot communication) I would really recommend you to switch to linux / unix.
