That depends on what's causing the problem.

Most Windows 98-era computers are way underpowered to run Windows XP at all,
or if they can rut it, they will run it very slowly. It's unlikely that
upgrading will be a good solution unless you are also willing to upgrade
your hardware. And upgrading hardware often is not cost-effective, since you
may find that you can buy a whole new computer for not much more.
