What does "Disk Space--3600" mean? Exactly what display adapter/video card do you have?

You can work with 256MB of RAM but you'll be HAPPIER with 512MB. Is your 256MB comprised of one 256MB module, 2 - 128MB, or what? How many slots do you have? Visit www.crucial.com and use their Memory Advisor™ Tool to get some info on your system. The Upgrade Disc is fine, but you should have some disc with the full OS, so if you still have your 98sc disc then I suggest getting an upgrade disc.That MACHINE would be FAR happier with the additional RAM soybean mentioned and Win2K instead of XP...
It's almost XP without the eye-candy and in my OPINION the most stable OS the Mothership has ever released....

Plus with the money you would save from buying XP the RAM upgrade would be basically Free.

Food for Thought.Has 3 slots. One 256mb module.
Not sure of display/video.
36gb space left.Well, you can easily increase your RAM and still use what you have. That's good. And, you have enough disk space. So, you should have no problem running Win XP, or go with W2K as patio suggested.Thanks for your input.
My son has W2K.
My wife has 98SE.
I want XP HOME.
But I want to do it the right way.
Thanks Again
JohnThere isn't much in XP that is not in Win2K...but if you insist on XP take soybeans suggestion above...
