Re: Can my CPU running Win98 handle XPPro?

IMHO, by the time you put in enough RAM to support XP, and live with a slow
control processor beating up your little hard drive, you'd be very
disappointed. Bringing that old HP up-to-date with recent hardware
(mobo/cpu/memory/power supply) is an expensive if not an impossible
proposition.
Get a recent PC with XP installed, and transfer your settings and files
would be short route to your intended destination.
