Second Edition.

Agreed.

The second edition of 98 had fixes for bugs in the OS and a few added features.

Not sure, but an upgrade to XP Home may be just $100.00 (USD).  In my opinion, XP combines the best features of Windows 2000 and Windows 98 SE and Me in one OS.

The computer may not support Windows XP. The requirements are very heavy in comparison.

Good point, Raptor.

Chad should check the Windows Catalog before considering an upgrade:
