Try disabling hyperthreading (HT) in the BIOS. Windows 98 cannot utilize the features of hyperthreading, and having it enabled may interfere with the way Windows 98 expects to handle threads.
There is probably no need to reinstall Windows after a processor upgrade, and the performance increase between the two said processors is probably not worth purchasing a newer version of Windows for.
Officially, Windows XP requires a minimum of a 233 MHZ Pentium processor. Unofficially, with a minor patch or via hard drive swapping, any Pentium processor can be used.

Yes. The minimum requirements for Windows XP are a 233 Mhz Pentium, 64 MB of RAM, and 1.5 GB of hard drive space. Any Pentium III computer should have more than enough RAM and hard drive space.
Windows 7 32-bit is the highest version compatible with the Pentium III processor. : the official requirement about processor is "a x86 CPU clocked at 1 Ghz or above" and some models of Pentium III meet that technical specification. Please note that only the 32-bit version of Windows 7 can run on Pentium III. Moreover, it is recommended to have at least 1 GB of RAM for Windows 7 32-bit, which is a huge amount for a computer of this era.
None. Any processor written for Intel-compatible processors, from MS-DOS to Windows 98 to Windows Vista to Linux to Solaris 10 can be run on a Pentium D.
The minimum requirements of Flash Player (9 & 10) for a computer running Windows are: Windows 2000 Pentium II 450 Mhz or faster processor 128 MB of RAM Recommended requirements: Windows 2000/XP/Vista Pentium 4 2.33 Ghz or faster processor 128 MB of RAM
That refers to a specific combination of hardware and operating system. For example, "Windows, running on a Pentium or compatible processor".
