I would not attempt to run XP on a 233 Mhz CPU

absolutely, win98. i don't even think there's enuf memory to run win xp on it. small box like that should use the safest n cleanest os m$ put out using fat 32 filing, win98 se. i believe they closed the book on updating their support for it, tho. you're also gonna have to d/l a bunch of fixes for it, once you load it from disk. you'll be visitin the windows update page for a while, but it'll be worth it in the end, more so than win me. i never d/l'd that os, but i heard it was real trash. ~s

I have a windows 2000 server running on less than that and it works lovely - it's even a dc and does DHCP and DNS for 20 machines. 2000 pro is where I would go.
Windows xp on a 333mhz runs great even to surf the net. you want to have at least 256 ram but i suggest more. the more ram the faster it seems on these slower machines.
meh, you should just buy a new PC... you can have one built fairly cheap.

Oh, and keep that PC as it is...
i recommend status quo, or you could covert it to Linux box... if it hasnt already been suggested ;)
