If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Otherwise it WILL need fixing! Then you'll have to come back here begging us to help fix up your computer....
That's my $0.02CDN.
I wouldn't upgrade. i have win98 also, and can do what i need. i did upgrade to internet explorer 6.0. it does speed up the browsing a little bit. i recommend goin to 5.5.
I like running 5.5 more security features added, less on being hacked
Its simple just Upgrade and that's it <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">
MacGyver is right.As far as 5.5 it is okay,stay away from directX 8,I have been seeing issues there.
Just my $.03( I didn't want to copy cat Mac) <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
I run Win98 1st Ed on my PC at home, and have had some bizarre problems after I upgraded to IE 5.5. Honestly, I would stick with IE 5.01. Like some others have said, if it's not broke, don't fix it.
As for DirectX 8, I have had no problems with that on mine or my wife's PC. Also seemed to give games a noticable boost in performance... just make sure you have updated drivers for all of your hardware to support DX8.
