i need format my pc what windows do you install after?

if your not familiar with Linux, stick to Windows XP. If you have knowledge in Linux, I suggest using Ubuntu 6.10

you should try windows xp sevice pack 3 it rocks man it contains mozilla and acrobat by default and is a good sevice pack/

go for windows xp its da best u can get

i would say if you could wait till vista is released but if you have urgency you could install windows xp asyour OS.

The best option in your case would be to go for XP as i have heard Vista still has some problems.

You may Install Windows XP after formatting your PC... Windows 98 is outdated now... Windows Vista requires more resources so it is better to forget about it now... Better you install Windows XP Professional or Home Edition, Whichever suits your purpose

i usuallly do it with xp professional

I would definitely suggest Windows XP for that specification. There is little point in reinstalling Windows 98, because your system will comfortably support Windows XP which offers a much better environment. You would be able to run Windows Vista but the operating system is resource hungry and would probably slow your system down quite a fair amount, so this is not a practical choice.

due to your hardware specifications you should install windows xp but if you made a simple ram upgrade to at least 1gb you should be able to run the new windows vista without any kind of problems due to your hardware. but before you should look if all of your applications will work correctly with the new windows vista godd bye and good luck

i prefer windows xp for vista be af full capacity you need at least 1 gb ram

Yes i vote also windows XP is very good.

I recomend Windows XP but don't forget the service packs because without them XP will get quite worse than others.

i vote for xp .. stil the best among the other windows ...

if you want an easy operating sytem (meaning easy to install , manage and troubleshoot) you can use windows xp. i think it's quite match with your configuration.

I tryed WIndows Vista Beta 2 before. I thought it would be better but on the other hand, it has a lot of bugs with very slow performance. They clam to give you high performance because Windows Vista can support external Flash Disk as an optional RAM. I also got problems when installing games on this OS. I can't seem to get a good performance and nice capability system. For now, looking at your computer details, you should get Windows XP. I would not recomend you to use Windows 98 anymore. Get a Windows ME edition if you have lower computer resources. What OS are you using now?

for shure not windows98 i didn't try vista yet i prefer windows XP

i vote for xp .. stil the best among the other windows ...

windows xp b'coz the minimum requirment of vista is 512mb ram it is sufficient but not better(it is minimum u have) so windows xp is better.
