Upgrading isn't the best idea.

A fresh install is highly recommended otherwise things might screw up later on

I just upgraded to XP, the only problem I had was that I had to reinstall a few things, but not MOHAA.

Oh that and my Adaptec CD Creator said launching it would make "Windows unstable" so I can't use that anymore because it's not compatible with XP, and I'm too lazy to get a new version.

But yeah, the upgrade went well for me, but you have a different machine so I'm not sure about what will happen after you upgrade

Why don't you get the latest patch for CD Creator that is compatible w/ XP?

And Scrot, make sure you have some decent system specs because XP is a hog.

Especially if you are coming from 98. Win 98 does bad things to a computer and needs a fresh install periodically.

think this can handel it? its the upgrade im getting within a week, just trying to shop around for the cheapist price now. i dont think il get xp right away though, the program itself is 150 then the cost to install it is $100
BOARD: ASUS A7N 8X - DELUXE
PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon XP 2600+
MEMORY: 512 MB DDR 2700 RAM (one piece, Crucial preferred, but Kingston is OK)
CASE: Antec Mid Tower Case w/ 300W Power Supply

I have a Celeron 1.1GHz with 256MB of PC-133 RAM and XP runs fine.

I don't know about XP but some of my older games didn't work with 2000

(like Wing Commander Prophecy which is old (1998), but decent by today's standards)

You might have some problems with DOS-based games, but most of todays games, even 1 - 2 years old, will work fine. If Half-Life will work on XP, which it does, then most games will work on XP.

Just be sure you have AT LEAST 64MB of system memory, and a 300mhz processor, preferably a PIII.

PS: Like Blood said, don't upgrade, totally reinstall the OS.

i dont have to format the drive do i?

To totally reinstall, yes.

if your computer has 98, i would think it might be a bit too old for XP, even my 1.6 ghz has problems with xp, i just got a corrupted file which made me reinstall xp and reformat my drive, wiped the whole drive out.
