I would not. It will probably run but will be slow. XP really needs 256K and performs much better with 512K. Plus the processor is a little slow.

What you will want to do is setup the network on the XP machine first. At the last step of that you will be prompted to make a floppy to setup the other machine.

Win 2000 will run acceptably on that machine if you want more stability than what 98 gives you. XP would be a real dog.
