Hi Chris,
I can't imagine why not.
I'm not a PC guru, but I can't see any problems in upgrading to XP.
Not sure about Pace/3.0. I requested an authorization months ago and
never even got a response from ID.
Cheers,
TC

Well.... as with most answers it's a maybe. 98 does not require nearly the
RAM that XP will - Don't even attempt anything less than 256mb. Personally,
I run 768. Expect graphics to be slower, XP has more going on. In general,
XP has more going on. IRQ conflicts in XP won't be nearly the hassles they
were for you in 98/ME. Also, I recommend you put the expansion cards right
back where you had them (for OS drive swaps later should you want to do
that) but pull EVERY expansion card out of it while installing XP - Things
will just go smoother. I go as far as killing onboard devices like USB,
network, COM ports when I install XP fresh. You will definitely have to
tweak the system, try www.musicXP.net for more detail. Do not use it for
internet, but I say that for whatever operating system you run.
If you can get your hands on an older install of XP, WinXP SP1 is the one
that has enough updates to run DX/VST plugs correctly but not so much
internet/security crap on it that it'll hose your single core older
processor. I am also going to suggest, nay.... recommend... that you buy a
completely new 7200 RPM drive to install XP on and leave your Win98 OS
install intact in the event you change your mind or need to go back for any
reason. I did that during my transition and it saved me headaches more than
a few times.
As to PACE virus challenge, you'd have to ask Intelligent Devices about
that. Or do what just about everyone on WinTel has done and antiPACE it
'cause it has been a dead horse to IntDev for years and they aren't exactly
swift on the support channels. I doubt seriously if they care at this point.
3rd option: Go back to version 2.2.

A little birdie told me to Google for Anti PACE. Make sure you have all your
spy/malware and antivirus updates in order first.
There's still enough hate for PACE out there, I expect you'll come up with
something of interest.

Hello, I am wanting to change my op system to XP from Windows 98.
I am not a 'computer guy' but, close. Have built computers, installed systems. But, always running into things I can't get done correctly.
I need 'Changing to XP for dummies' kind of help. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
I have the black viper web site saved. their suggestions are difficult for me to understand.
thanks,
Stephen
