I've got a Panasonic Toughbook which I use for simple tasks (note-taking,
calculations, a little surfing). It works great and I would hate to throw it
away, but I am getting tired of the Win98 that it came with, which is far
inferior to XP that I have gotten used to on my main computer, and anyway is
way overdue for reinstall.

The Toughbook has a 64M CPU and a 2G HD. According to the Microsoft website,
64M is the minimum (128 recommended) and 1.5G disk space. Am I going to
encounter problems if I try to upgrade with hardware this close to the
minimum? Is it even worth it?
