Ijust got My new mobo working. Can I just Uograde to XP or Win 7 from Win 98 or should I get AA full version? It's a 1.8 ghz with sempron 3000 Just 512 RAM but I would increase that if necessary. I'm not a gamer but My kids are starting to watch cartoons and things on it. cost is deffinately a priority.

Don't bother with upgrades... do a clean install whenever possible. I'd stick with XP on that hardware... I really don't think it's worth putting 7 on it. Go with at least 1GB of RAM... or get 2GB if it's cheap enough... but it wouldn't be worth putting more than 2GB in.

How about Ubuntu? It's free and should works better for a lower spec machine.
