I'm running on a 4 years compute system,Pentium200 MMX and 64MB EDO RAM.Initially I used I.E5.0 and O.E5 and recently I had upgraded to I.E6 and O.E6.I would like to know due to this software upgrade on my Win98 will it slow down my internet surfingperformance and normal usage on my p.c?

to some extend yes. They have more load to work with so it slows down some.
IE is integrated with the os, booting up will slow down (+- 1 sec) it should not effect apps unless you open jpg, etc with ie.

I haven't noticed any significant difference in performance after installing IE 6.

One machine that I installed it on has a 486 / 133 processor.

I noticed a very significant slow down going from Windows 95 to 98 though.

You can speed up your system quite a bit by adding more memory. If you can double RAM to 128 MB you will see a noticable improvement.
