Pentium 2 - 450
256 MB ram
Micron Millennia (it's old!)

have been running win98se and will probably reinstall this. I also have XP pro that I could install, but I'm afraid of what I'll run into with this old machine. I have moved all of my files I wish to save to an external HD. I want the best results possible...what steps do I take next to wipe clean and begin reinstall? It's been a couple of years since I have done a reinstall.

Basically this computer will have word processing, web surfing, and younger kids games installed. Nothing too taxing!
