I wouldn't attempt upgrading any higher than WinXP SP3, and I wouldn't do
that if the machine didn't pass the WinXP Upgrade Advisor compatibility
tests with flying colors (if you can even find the standalone utility now).
[Actually, I wouldn't attempt it anyway.]

I have an old computer I'd like to upgrade from Windows 98.
Unfortunately, it seems that a lot of applications and add-ons no
longer support 98, so I'm interested in upgrading the computer OS,
rather than just throwing it away.

The computer is a Hewlett Packard Pavilion, and it has 46MB ram. It
was purchased back in 1998, but surprisingly it still runs great.

What could I upgrade it to.....what OS package should I seek out?
I've read the requirements of XP, and it's required that you need to
at least have 64 MB ram minimum?

Is there any current OS system out there that should be able to
install with my computer's specifications?

thanks
