If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm sticking with 98SE until a move is
neccesary.

Simply install XP as dual boot, then you'll still have your existing
OS to go back to if things don't quite work out in XP.. Thats what I
did, Win98/XP dual boot,, works great...

I have XP installed with

384Mb RAM
Geforce 2 MX
900 Mhz AMD Athlon

NFS:Porshe Unleashed was unplayably slow in Win98 compatibility mode, as PU
would not play natively.

I would say if the game does not support Win2000 or XP natively, stick with
what you have.
