I will be helping a friend with his pc soon.
He  will be upgrading an existing win98 system to xp pro and at the same
time will be installing a new motherboard/ ram.

 I would like some opinions on whether it would be better to get
the old win98 working(hardware detected) with the new motherboard first or
just go ahead and install the motherboard and boot up with winpro upgrade
and have the new operating system sort things out as far as hardware is
concerned.

I want to preserve the software on this pc.
