I'm running Win98SE and it's been okay.
Reading the feedback, I am considering upgrading to Win XP.
Is It worth the hassle?

I have checked the hardware compatibility and my machine is okay. There are only some old software issues I have to deal with...

XPor Win2KPro should crash less, but won't run many old games. If you decide to upgrade, read the AT FAQs about "dual booting" so you can keep 98SE installed for when you need it.

Remember the XP registration requirements if you change your internal H/W around for tweaking alot.
