Upgrade away!!! You won't lose any info by updateing!! You have to update your drivers but otherwise no change, other than Win98 becoming W2K! ;)

Thought that I would point out that the minimum requirements for win 2K is 64Mb Ram. I would suggest a minimum of 128Mb and 256Mb for Server. Also check the HCL (Hardware compatability List) to make sure your hardware will work with 2000. See http://www.microsoft.com/hwtest/hcl You can also do a compatability report. For this you Run the winnt32/checkupgradeonly command from the 2000 disk or download the Readiness Analyser from http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/upgrade/compat/default.asp
