You might try the Windows 2000 Professional It is the workstation product
that took windows NT. What is nice is that it is robust like NT was, and it
has Plug and Play features of Windows 98, thus you could have an easier time
installing than the old NT. You have to go to the MS website and look at the
Hardware compatability tables and see how your existing machine stacks up.
