If you'd like to try XP out but still keep your old OS make a partition on your drive, if you have enough room that is, and install XP to that partition. XP is smart enough to know that there is another OS installed and easily installs onto the partition. Then you will have a dual boot system and keep your old games and applications on the older OS (95,98, and ME) and you can run the newer games on XP. I have a dual boot system for running applications that won't work in XP (Quickbooks, my scanner and so on)and use XP for anything that will run in it. You can use Partition Magic to make the partition which you can get on Ebay for between 20 and 30 dollars.
