(also: 256mb ram / 32mb ati radeon / 40gb western digital harddrive)

I like to play (winamp) burn (nero) and download (winmx) music.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I may play games such as Starcraft.

I'm sure the AMD 450 and Win98 SE could handle the music and light gaming,
but I don't know if by having WinXP, even these programs would run slow. ??

If the AMD K2 450 could run WinXP, my music programs, and basic games without much hesitation,
then how would this configuration handle programs like Office XP, Autocad and/or Mathcad, and MS VB C++?

OR - Can I format WinXP or is like Win2000? If i can format XP and reinstall 98, I'll just give XP a shot...
THANKS!
