Greetings --
Again, and I _cannot_ seem to emphasize this enough, a piece of
hardware's working with Win98, is absolutely *NO* indication of its
suitability for use with WinNT, Win2K, or WinXP.
Computer components designed for, sold and that run fine with
Win9x/Me very often fail to meet WinXP's much more stringent hardware
quality requirements. WinXP, like WinNT and Win2K before it, is quite
sensitive to borderline defective or substandard hardware
(particularly motherboards, RAM and hard drives) that will still
support Win9x.
FYI, for future reference, comparing WinXP to Win98 is a lot like
comparing a Lexus to a Yugo -- any similarities are entirely
superficial.
