Is XP really better?

deeder7001 · 29th March 2004, 06:51

I have an HP Pavillion 2.0Ghz 256RAM 40gb hdd that runs XP but it runs like absolute crap. No viruses or spyware. It feels slower than my 400mhz Dell Optiplex GX1 128RAM 2.1gb hdd running '98se. The Dell is far more stable than the HP.

I was wondering if XP would be good for the Dell. I want to get the most out of my computer. I have heard that XP utilizes your memory better than '98. Would XP be good for the Dell or should I keep it as is?
