I would certainly do it as an Upgrade in the first instance (provided
the hardware is adequate - especially in having more than the
recommended 128MB RAM). If it were not to work out you could always
still do a clean install, Read Gary Woodruff's article on upgrading to
XP at http://www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpupgrad.htm. Then Run the XP CD from
the system and upgrade.
