Upgrading 98SE to XP Home Edition - Memory Problems

[Robert]

I have a Dell Inspiron P3 450MHz with 64MB and want to get
to XP. I've bought a 256MB modulke but it doesn't want to
work with 98SE as it throws up VxD and HIMEN issues.
I';ve been advised to do the upgrade to XP on 64MB then
add inthe 256MB as XP apparantly manges memory upgardes
much better than 98SE. I also want to re-format the hard
disk first as I want to start afresh. I've got all data
backed up on CD!
Any thoughts please?
Thx

with the new RAM. And that it's compatible with
your motherboard.
