If you want to upgrade from 98, there are 2 things to bear in mind: - Remove third party software (whenever possible) prior to upgrade, and make sure you have the 2K/XP update ready - Drivers were a horrible thing in 98, so where possible apply the same rule as above There's a website somewhere that helps you upgrading from 98, doing a Google search would be a good idea. ...
