Hi: I'm trying to make up my mind whether to do a clean install of XP or upgrade my Win2K box.

I have an AMD Athlon T-bird 1.7 with 1G of RAM on an Asus A7M266 Motherboard.

Win XP Upgrade Clean install?
I would prefer a clean install over installing it on top of Win 98. Why? Although with older versions of Windows, that often brought better results, it's much less true with XP.
