Yes indeed, if the specs are really hurting, W98/W98SE would be the route to go. As for WXP, you can trim it down so it uses ~50MB of memory (ive got mine at 90 right now but i'm also playing music, downloading and encoding movies, the core functions are using 50-60MB)

Of course if you're going to be using a larger drive and dont want to be limited by the FAT32 filesystem, WindowsXP is the better option (because Windows2000 requires quite a bit of hardware to run effectively). So many considerations!
