There should be no problems installing XP. Just make sure you back up your data and format the HDD and do a fresh install. I've tried upgrading from 98 to XP and had nothing but problems.
If you have only an upgrade disk for XP, make sure you have a CD for WIN98, as it will want to check to make sure you have an existing OS. IOt doesn't matter if its installed or not, just that you have one.
If I was as sexy as I was smart.....I'd still be ugly..DAMN
