Not advisable, even those people who run it with 32 MB of RAM may not realize that most new applications will quickly gobble up any remaining memory and resources and Windows 98 will run at a crawl. The best upgrade option in this configuration is Windows NT 4.0. Windows NT runs okay in just 16 MB of RAM and will handle low resources conditions better than Windows 98 (because it can expand the memory pool more effectively and has larger limits on system resources) Also: Windows NT installs in 110 MB of disk space and Windows 98 needs at least 350 MB. A very important installation note for Windows NT. Install Service Pack 6a before you install anything, even drivers. You should get a copy of the Service Pack (Network Installation) on CD-R before installation, as the version of Internet Explorer (2.0) included with NT can't access www.microsoft.com. I'll also add that Windows NT sucks on laptops, you're better off with Windows 95 C.
