Hey, i have win98 installed at the moment and am contemplating upgrading to win xp. Got a pentium 350, anyone forsee any problems with me doing this? If so please let me know.

I had problems with installing it on a pentium 2 - 33mhz... the machine just wasn't fast enough to handle it.. you may have better luck, but if i were you, i'd stick with 98se... xp is good, but only seems to be good if you have a comp over 600mhz

yeah have been told that it could be a bit slow but my win98se isn't running particularily smoothly and i have had difficulties trying to reformat it

Forget about upgrading to Windows XP. Your CPU is too slow, and your computer probably doesn't have enough RAM. Windows XP will install and run best with a computer that has a CPU with a minimum speed of 600 - 800 MHz and has at least 256 MB of RAM. I have both a Windows 98SE and a Windows XP computer. I enjoy both operating systems.

Run Fdisk and chose lagre partitioning and delete partitions and recreate atleast two set C: as active and format C:\ s then format the other partition and install Windows98 once completed install XP from with in W98 and chose NEW install NOT upgrade and it will setup dualboot for you make sure you direct it to install on D: Good luck.

Try XP Advisor too see if you are compatible. I hope you are on cable. I think it is over 30mb. Bryan

xp advisor is built into xp so if you have the OS you wont need to download the 30mbs. just pop the disk in.
