That means 9X was END??

So, anyone know where the cheapest place to get an upgrade from 98 to XP is in the UK? I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and upgrade sometime soon. :/

Also, how well's XP likely to run on my very modest, old machine? Specs:
Athlon 1Ghz
256MB RAM
GeForce2 GTS 32MB
I don't need/want any bells and whistles, just functionality.

Thanks.
