I have an old desktop with Windows 98SE which I don't use much anymore. An Emachine 533ir, 192 MB RAM, 15GB HD etc. I now have some simple uses for it using its scanner and printer for some biz stuff. I picked up an ethernet card for it and while I'm at it I thought upgrading to Windows 2000 would help and be inexpensive, especially for finding software Firewall and anti-virus. Not much out there for Windows 98SE that I could find. I have a BEC NAT modem/router and ADSL+2 and I expect to use the internet occasionally with this desktop and at biz sites...no surfing.

Is it better to buy the 2K upgrade or to get the full version?

Or should I stick with Windows 98SE for the limited internet use this unit will see?

Thanks for input, Cheers, JK
