Hi, I'm new to all of this, so please be patient with me....

This is my system.....
MoBo = MSI AMD Athlon XP2100+ VIA KT400 Ultra - with onboard sound
FSB set to = 133 with other bios settings default
VideoCard = MSI MS-8894 128mb 8xAGP TI420
HardDrive = Western Digital 80GB 7200rpm Ultra ATA/100
Memory = Corsair CMX512-3200C2 Ultra Performance DDR XMS3200 512mb 400Mhz CL2
OS = Windows 98SE
Case = (I think) Intel ATX 12V
Problem....
System is slow and mouse is stuttering on movement at various times - mostly when loading internet explorer or any other program
- have also recently had problems with system crash - reformatted hard drive via different computer and re-installed windows, also tried to mess with Bios and messed up system - had to reboot with jumper....
Please help, I have tried almost everything... I have a basic knowledge of computers. I'm trying to educate myself and fix it myself!!!! Spent the past three days working on it, with the above results.... HELP!
Could it possibly be my operating system - need to upgrade to XP?
Thanks for your help it is greatly appreciated!
