Revert to win 98?

I have a ATI Rage Furry Maxx 64mb which doesn't work with XP (thanks guys) I'm plaining on getting a new gamming system at the end of the comming summer (when i have the $).

Should i take the money for a new card and put it in the new PC and put Win 98 on my current PC and stick with the 64, or should i try and and find a new card and stick with XP on this PC, untill i have the $ for the new PC?

Thanks
Cory

Invest your money into a gaming Video Card(Ti4200, 4600, Radeaon 9700 Pro, etc).

Video Card matters the most for best Gaming experience!

Maybe so, but a GF4 Ti4200 will work a LOT better than the Fury Maxx and you can bring it with you to the new PC.

Cory-

Good lord son...don't they teach you spelling and grammar in college?

Hope you have a good week and let me know if you need assistance with the degrade back to 98SE (which I think would be a mistake). I'm off Tuesday and Wednesday...
