    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 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.
