Well that all depends on the computer your using, if its running really slow it might not be the operating system (win95) it might be the computer. What year is the computer and what kind of processor does it have(pentium1,2,3,etc...)and also do you know the speed of the computer? If the computer is outdated it might not be able to handle WindowsXP and if so you should get an up to date system.

A setup like that should work fine wth Windows 98.

I would lean toward doing a clean install. I've never tried installing 98 over top 
of 95.

And look down here for a way to avoid having to apply all those updates to 98 more 
than once, if you have a CD burner or a spare hard drive:
