The XP hardware requirements are here:

I'd recommend at least 512 MB RAM.
The upgrade will leave your programs intact, but some programs won't run
under XP. There is a partial list here:

You don't say what computer you currently have, but a newer model would
almost certainly give more satisfactory results.

Can I do it on this computer or do I have to get a new one? Also, if
I can do it on this computer, will it overwrite
my existing Win98 and allow me to keep my existing programs or do I
have to reinstall everything? Thanks.
