I have a very old computer probly from around sometime from 1998 to 2000. I just checked to see if it still works and I found it is in somewhat good condition and is running windows 98. Please advise me on what I should do with it to get it to (somewhat) current day standards if possible.

Actually for XP all you need is 233MHZ and 64MB RAM, though if you have less than that 750MHZ and 128MB RAM, it would be a bad idea to upgrade to XP. Vista, a computer from 1998 will definatly not run Vista.

If this PC has a processor with a speed of 750 MHz or better and has at least 128 megs of ram, it will run Windows XP.
Vista is another question
I doubt that it will run Vista. I have to say no.
You can get an OEM copy of Windows XP Home Edition for around a hundred bucks.

you are able to, it in basic terms relies upon on your hardware. Vista is a hardware hog. even although the minimum specifications call for 512MB of RAM that is going to run particularly sluggish with something below 2GB. make useful your processor is sweet, and you in addition to could want a DX9 able photos card with 128MB or greater video reminiscence with the intention to run the Aero interface. additionally that is not worth upgrading to vista now as abode windows 7 is popping out quickly.
