If you're making the switch from 98 to Vista, you definitely want an entirely new machine.
The requirements for Windows 98 were:
* 66 MHz processor * 16 MB RAM * 500 MB hard drive space The requirements* for Windows Vista are:
* 1 GHz processor * 512 MB RAM * 20 GB hard drive space * video card with 32 MB RAM on-board * Note that these "minimum requirements" will be barely able to run Vista. A system with a 3 GHz processor and at least 1 GB RAM are usually listed as minimum values by non-Microsoft parties.
It is unlikely that the motherboard that came with your Windows 98 computer will be compatible with the minimum requirements for Windows Vista.

Hello, To upgrade from Windows 98 to Windows XP first make sure you have the correct system requirements: - at least a Pentium 3 (or equivalent) - at least 512Mb of ram - at least 10GB of HDD Then simply buy Windows XP software and follow the upgrade instructions.
