Clean Install from XP Jome Upgrade Disk

[Dell Phinus]

Greetings,

I am replacing an old P-133 that was bought with 95 pre-installed.
I have the OEM supplied Win95 CD. I subsequently upgraded it from WIn
95 to 98SE via an upgrade CD, which I still have. Can I legally (and
functionally) purchase an XP upgrade CD, and do a clean install on my
"new" machine (dual xeon 550s)?

Thanks,
DP

Dell;
Yes, as long as the Windows 98SE is retail and no longer installed on
the P-133.

Yes, but.

If you want both processors recognized, you'd better get XP Pro.

Jupiter Jones,

OK, clarification/refinement:
OEM Win 95 -> Retail 98SE upgrade -> Retail Win XP Pro Upgrade?

And no, if I was gonna keep 98 on the 133, I'd also not need to buy XP
:-). Made a decison long ago to buy software that I use. I'm almost
ashamed to say I own a paid copy of PKZip . . .

Thanks,
DP
