In a word, yes. I have a similar processor (PIII, 800MHz) with 768 MB RAM. Win 98 was running intolerably slow in certain circumstances. I upgraded to XP Pro about a year ago and everything has run smoothly since. I have yet to experience a system lockup, and everything moves much quicker. I have not even considered upgrading my hardware since the OS upgrade, something I thought was imminent and unavoidable before.

I am running a PIII 667 with gobs of RAM and lots of drive space. I have good hardware compatability. I am hoping to get better large (over 100mb, maybe as large as 250mb) file handling. Is this something worth doing? William Robb
