It depends on how old is you're PC. If it is a PC with an x86 processor than you can't do a modification to it but if it is a Pentium III or something simmilary you might change something. You can make changes but, it depends on what you are using you're PC for.
If you use it for Office, this kind of configuration might be what you need:
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 or AMD Sempron+ 9600 with 1.4 Ghz
Hard Disk: 45 GB
RAM: 256 MB
Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 5200 or 5500
If you use it for gaming, it is a little bit more expensive than the office configuration, but, anyway, here it is:
Processor: Intel Dual Core 2 4Ghz
HDD: 80 GB
RAM: 512 MB(at least, but 1 GB of RAM is recommended)
Video Card: nVidia GeForce 8 or 9 series
Operating System: Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2
(I don't recommend Windows Vista for gaming, because it does not support all popular games of our times.)
Note: Office software can work on a Gaming PC too, while Games with high graphics CAN"T work on an Office machine because of the low configuration.

Having worked on industrial control systems I have a saying...
"Nothing works better with old technology than old technology"
It is easy to find automated systems still using technology (Hardware and software) that is +10 or +15 years old...
An example of this was an automated environmental water treatment plant built arround 1990... At the time it was constructed it was state of the art, using series 90 PLC's made by GEfanuc. I found that I needed to interface with the electronic display (a CRT monitor/touch screen and computer) In order to configure the device I needed to plug in an AT style keyboard which has the large 5/8inch round DIN connector on it.... Now a days you can only find the smaller PS/2 style keyboards. Fortunately I had kept my old Windows 3.0 /Dos 6.2 PC in my basement and used its key board to save the day.... I have also used this OLD DOS PC to run old software which doesn't run on new PC's.
With PC based control systems you will also find specialized interface cards being used which plug into 16BIT ISA slots. The modern PC olny provides PCI slots.
Another reason I have kept my old DOS PC is that I can used the OLD interface/programming software that was provided when these treatment plants were built. PLC programming software was very expensive and cost several thousand dollars. New software doesn't necessary work with the old PLC's unless they are upgraded and reprogrammed. The problem is that it may not be possible to reprogram the PLC's due to the expense of re-developing the program. (engineering costs) so it is much cheaper to modify existing code or repair/replace older PC /interface equipment.

No change suggested.
Windows 98 is fast to load than XP.
Earlier OS versions ran faster, without windows.
Except graphics, XP programs, could be done under
Dos or CP/M, I believe.
