"Upgrade" is not the word I would use unless your problems with Win95
are so severe that you are about to slash your wrists.

Those alone, and FAT32 (I'm still using OSR1, and yes I have big hard
drives, and yes I hate to have multiple partitions all the way up to
drive M: ), could make me want to get Win98. Is there any reason I
shouldn't?
Nope I have it and it works great

The GPL demo does not seem to work on my 98 (final release). It is the
static noise problem just before getting in the car.
I am wondering if this is because my sound card does not seem to support
16bit dma or is this a known problem?
No...not all all.
Just that I live by the adage, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
Or, in the case of Win95, "If it appears to be unbroken for 4 weeks
straight, don't fix it!"
I consider Win98 to be The Mother of All Patches that Microsoft have
been putting together since W95 was released, so one day, if all else
fails, I'll apply the patch. :o)

I have a similar problem with my AWE-64 Gold (which DOES support
16-bit DMA transfers, of course).
Doesn't work with my CL Voodoo2 (latest drivers) either. Animation v.
choppy.
Worked fine in '95, though.

I totally agree with Bruce and the FAT32 is available already in Win95.
