Default Celeron 400MHz upgrade win

My system is a Celeron 400 MHz with 128 MB running win98 se. Applications
are nothing more than hotmail, surfing and VCD. Playing VCD is acceptable.
Did you think I can go for win2k/xp? Or the best I can have is Me?

Never ever purchase Windows ME, or you will be wasting your money.

A 400 Mhz Celeron may not be fast enough. You should have at least a 800Mhz
processor to run XP I recommend above 1 Gig Processor for Windows XP.

Win200, yes.

Win XP, yes.. if you add more memory.
256MB is nice, as in adequate. 512MB is nicer, as in recommended.
The fact it's a Celeron 400MHz shouldn't be a problem.

TheOr the best I can have is Me?


Don't touch Me with a bargepole.
If you can't run NT/2K/XP then stick with 98.

As others have said, either stick with what you have and add more memory if
need be/possible, or go to Win2k or XP.
As for XP, it ran very well with a Celeron 766mhz and 768mb of pc100 memory.
The system had 2 printers, a scanner, a zip drive, 2 cd-rw's and was very
stable. I recommend going to XP.

HTH,
