Query: Computer Runs Faster, More Reliably

About a year and a half ago, I bought an HP Pavilion 9600 computer that came with Windows 98. The computer often froze up, and could be restarted only by disconnecting the power. In addition, the longer it ran (even just 2 days), and especially the longer it was on-line, the slower it got (and the time display in the lower right corner would be slow, by as much as 20 minutes or so). Since I installed the Windows XP upgrade, all this has gone away. It has not frozen up once, and the clock is still accurate after 2 days of running and many hours on-line. The installation took more time than I might have expected (over an hour), but it was pretty easy, and the benefits are well worth it.FYI -- I had only 128 MB RAM on my system, and upgraded it to 384 the day before installing XP. But even with 384 MB ram, Windows 98 still froze up. XP works fine with my Franklin Planner software, and with Earthlink Instant Messenger, as well as all the standard MS Office, etc.
