provided means that this computer has 512 meg of RAM and is a Dell XPS T500 (which came with a couple of different Pentium III processors) it will probably "run better" with Win 98 unless you want to upgrade the RAM to 1GB.
Additionally, if you do upgrade it you do realixe that you will NEED a second copy of Windows XP with its own CoA?
I have a 12 year old PC,bought it with W98se...OS.About 6 years ago I changed from 98se to XP home.The disc came from Dell and they walked me through the switch.
Now I'am looking to do a clean install of XP. Its a 2nd home PC for my son and want to get it running better.Will I run into any problems with the normal clean install of XP b/c it was once 98se.
