Jon T,
What are your HW specs? A few more details, proc speed, ram, types of games and other apps you run, etc. would help. XP's the way to go if you have the right HW, but it can be a slug w/o enough ram and a reasonable proc. My mp3 server is a Celeron 333 w/512mb, and runs reasonably well for its intended use. I'd hesitate to run some of the more recent games tho. If you've got '98, I dunno if I'd purchase ME. If you've got ME, go with the upgrade. It's not a huge improvement over '98, but enough so that it's worth throwing on. And be sure to hit windowsupdate right away. Lots of security fixes etc. for 98 and ME are available.
Scooter,
What're you upgrading from? I'm not immediately familiar with any upgrade programs, but I have a few resources I can poke through if I know more about what you're looking for.
