Probably not. The hard drive is away too small and a machine of that
vintage probably also has a slow CPU and inadequate RAM.

This may be the wrong question. What do you
want to do with this laptop that you cannot under Win98?

That would be absurd...
even to put win2k on a 2 gig drive would leave little room for anything else
