Ok, I'm currently running a Tyan based 933 P3 with 98 SE. I know this is a glimpse into the stone age but bear with me.

Any thoughts or advice?

Make sure you have enough ram(at least 512mb)
Make a backup of ALL important files!
You should think about doing a clean install.
Most of the programs I used on 98 were able to run on XP,using the wizard(but not all).
