Just another note. If you go XP. Get XP Pro. It's more $$ than the home version but has more features and manages memory better. For what you want 98SE would be fine. Just no ME or XP Home.

XP with 98mb of ram is a bad idea. 128 would be the bare minimum, 256 is just about right and 512 being the sweet spot. I would say if you can find someone who will give you there old windows 98 cd to use that. XP pro is better but not mundo $$$ better.

XP Pro on an Athlon 2000+ and 512mb SCREAMS!!! Next week, I will be installing RH 7.3, and I'm sure it will be even faster.

Gotta love this place. He asks if he should use 98 or XP and half the replies say Linux. LOL
I just did my first XP install and I'm not impressed.
98 is OK but you might try Windows 2000 Professional. I think it's the best thing to come out of Gates since MSDOS 5.0.
Win2K is the reason I never stepped up to XP until now. 2K works pretty damn well.
As far as "the other white meat" (linux), I run it on 1 box just to play but, I wouldn't recommend it to most users.
