heidi s If you're not experiencing any problems with Win98 (from the age I assume that's what you are running) why bother. Your machine should easily handle the chores you describe. I'm sure you can find a better deal and some fine machines with some of the other major companies but if you do decide to buy new, I'd go with the one you already trust. Both Win2000 and XP are more stable operating systems with XP having fewer hardware and software compatibility problems with older stuff. The newer processor speeds are amazing but how many of us really need to save a few milliseconds with each operation. That said, I just replaced my Dell 450 98SE with a Dell 8200 XP Home Edition and am pleased. I didn't *need* it, I just wanted it. From the description of what you use it for, the most effective upgrade you can make is a faster internet connection. A newer machine will not make your internet experience any different. tc :-)
