as far as i no the only diff btween an upgrade and the whole thing is a button and the price...........

if u have a previous version on ur machine it allows u 2 upgrade........ but the upgrade is just as big as the whole version.......... diff is that the upgrade wun work if u dont have a previous version.........

Windows 98SE can be 123 MB cause I have one version which is only 120 MB and it works.

From what I&#39;ve seen and read, window 98 cannot be upgraded to 98SE without a great deal of work. It requires registry and memory changes to fool the installer into allowing it. They are two entirely different OS&#39;s and are not really compatible with each other.

Windows 2000 won&#39;t work better than 98SE for games but some that won&#39;t work at all in XP will work OK in 2000. If you want XP and games, then consider installing a dual boot setup with 98SE and XP.
Play games in 98SE and do your business, chatting, movies, etc in XP.
My ideal setup is 12 gig for 98SE and 18 gig for win2k. If I need to work with XP or anything else, I add it to boot as an extra system or install it in Virtual PC.

I disagree. On my old PC, I was running Windows 98 (the original one) and it ALWAYS used to crash, when I was half way through an important document, I could depend on it to crash. Now that I&#39;m on Windows XP, things couldn&#39;t run smoother. I&#39;m on 2GHz with 256MB of RAM and it&#39;s crashed like once or twice in like a year (and I hope for it to stay like that).
