You can update to NT 4 if your hardware is on the hardware compatability list (HCL on Microsoft site).
If you move to TCP/IP you shouldn't have any other protocols especially those such as NetBEUI which broadcast creating unnecessary network traffic.
Make sure you have all the correct drivers you're going to need.

NT4 is the last version of NT.

The next step is Windows 2000 / XP

If your PC can support it, I would go with either W2K, or XP.

Microsoft has allready placed NT on it's end of life list. I believe that within 2 years, there will be no official support for either NT or W98.
