does your old computer meet the minimum requirement, did you go to add and remove programs and remove the old version before you loaded the new version ?

I'd suggest you go to Puppylinux.com they have a very small linux distro that is made to co-exist with XP. I run Puppy 2.10 myself and got ride of everything from Microsoft. Puppy comes with things that MS makes you pay extra for.

Well, first the requirements that Microsoft provides are bunk.  Second I have successfully installed and run Windows XP on a PIII 700MHz with 256MB of memory and a Radeon 7000 graphics card.  I wouldn't go any lower on the processor or memory, you might be able to get by with 600MHz but if you do make sure you have more than 256MB of memory.\n\nI would say no less than:\n\n600 to 700MHz (or better) processor\n256MB of memory\nat least a 10GB hard drive

As long as your computer meets the requirements for windows xp you should be able to upgrade directly from windows 98 by just insterting the disc while windows 98 is running. \n\nThese are the bare minimum system requirements for Windows XP, but I think they are being rather optimistic.\n\nThe minimum hardware requirements for Windows XP Home Edition are:\n•Pentium 233-megahertz (MHz) processor or faster (300 MHz is recommended)\n•At least 64 megabytes (MB) of RAM (128 MB is recommended)\n•At least 1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available space on the hard disk\n•CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive\n•Keyboard and a Microsoft Mouse or some other compatible pointing device\n•Video adapter and monitor with Super VGA (800 x 600)or higher resolution\n•Sound card\n•Speakers or headphones

XP will use up to 4 gb but on most systems only recognize 3.5 gb I personally use  2gb of DDR2 pc5400 667 mhz i have a program that works on intel motherboards desktop control center that monitors usage i have maxed usage around 900 mb so 1 gb is enough  512 mb is a little lite

Windows 2000 and Windows XP should be fine if you not intent to run heavy program like gaming. But recommand you upgrade your RAM to 512MB, it make your programs run smooth.

Check to see if your computer will support running Windows XP Professional. \nRecommended by Microsoft:\n300 MHz CPU *\n128 MB of RAM *\n1.5 GB of available hard disk space *\nSuper VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter with at least 8 MB of video RAM and monitor\nCD-ROM or DVD drive\nNetwork adapter\nSound card and speakers\nKeyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device\n* I recommend a minimum 450MHz CPU, 8GB HDD, 256MB of RAM\n\nthen Purchase an OEM license of Windows XP and replace your current outdated operating system.\nYou can find stores on eBay who sell windows XP OEM version for under $150.

Do you have enough RAM?  64 MB is the minimum supported, but 128 MB or more is recommended.

Yes, but runs slow. Stick to whatever OS you have already.\n\nOffice XP works fine.

Seems like it is hard to find, I would try these as a starting point. I would assume it is that same as Windows XP, I have included a few articles about these requirements.

After looking up your model, it only supports a MAX of 160MB of RAM.  That's not enough to run Windows 2000 or XP and for it be relatively usable.  In addition, you will need several GB of free space to install.  I recommend you look into a new laptop, even Dell has ones that are only a couple of hundred dollars that are better and will cost the same as the upgrades you would have to consider on your current model.

It doesn't matter There is not gonna be much difference You are better off with 98 or XP BTW, I think it is Vista

You shouldn't. I dont think you can. The processor isn't fast enough to support Xp and there isn't enoguh RAM to run XP. stick with 98 or get a Processor Upgrad and a RAM upgrade.
