No. Do not try to JUST install SP2 on a Windows 98 PC. Upgrade with a Windows XP disk and THEN install SP2, as SP2 is a patch for XP.

Xp sp2 is a service pack or a patch for XP.
Xp may not work on a 98 box due to non supported hardware. Old hardware won't work with Xp.

You buy XP with sp2, but just sp2 of XP is not an OS unto itself, it is an update.

Theres a high chance that it would not work since Windows Service Package 2 consists of patches for a Windows XP system.

Get UBUNTU. It's a free, reliable and up to date operating system. Also all of the programs (over 5,000) are free.
If your computer has 256MB of RAM get a full version. If less, get XUBUNTU.
