I have the Win98SE upgrade CD, upgraded from Win95. Will the WinXP Upgrade
work for me? I have a Pentium II 450 MHz with 256 Meg Ram. TIA

Terri said:Actually I am going to upgrade my system. I wanted to know if I could
get away with the WinXP upgrade or if I had to spring for the full
version. Thank you everyone for your kind and very helpful
information. No wisecracks either! LOL My system is so slow now
anyway, I really need to upgrade very soon.

Depending on how long it will be until you are running your new
system, there are actually many things you can do to make your
current system run *much* faster.
Eliminating unnecessary startup files and deleting temp files and
Temporary Internet files, followed by a defrag will do wonders.
Here's a good resource for people still running Windows 98:

ones running 98) run slow. Another thing to consider is a program like
AVG* and turn off e-mail scanning (which isn't really necessary).

Do yourself a favor...try Kubuntu or Ubuntu. Runs great on a system with
your specs. Windows will runs like crap on that system. Your other choice is
a cheap Dell.
PII ? Nope. on a PIII system it would be slow but maybe usable.
How big is your disk? 6GB is really tight for XP. I run a decent XP
system and apps in a 12BG partition on my laptop.
