There is no compatibility issue till you hit 2.1 GHz. I'm going to (re)state an opinion - the main reason to use XP instead of 98SE is stability, other reasons are application compatibility (example - M$ Office 2K3 won't install on 98) and hardware compatibility (example - NForce-based motherboards really don't like 98 much at all). I'm a firm believer in if your OS supports your hardware and software and doesn't constantly crash, there is no reason to upgrade.
