Hi,

If the original poster has enough RAM to run WinXP (or 2K) then great -- this is the best OS that Microsoft has made, so far. If it has 1GB, then it'll be a great machine, despite it's older CPU.

But, and this is a BIG but: if it has 512MB or less of RAM, in my opinion Win98SE would be a better choice if you need to stick with Windows. Ubuntu would be my strong preference, if all you want is to use it, and avoid the maintenance challenges of Windows.
