Every successive version of Windows needs a bigger, faster and better
computer to run as quickly as it's predecessor. If your computer is
sluggish and slow running Windows 98 it will not be faster running XP,
it will be slower because the system requirements for XP are higher than
for Windows 98. The difference might not be as pronounced between
Windows 2000 and Windows 98 because those two operating systems were
released relatively closely to each other date wise.

Well, I had another computer that was 98 and I installed 2000, then XP and it
seemed to be ok.

No, it will make it even slower! If the computer is of Windows 98 era
it will probably run like a turtle if you try to run XP on it!

I have a 98 computer and it is kind of slow. Will an upgrade to XP help? I
know that XP CLAIMS to make a computer faster, but will it work?
