98 needs to be optimized to take full advantage of broadband. If you have Java installed, DSLReports has a java based tweak test that will evaluate several settings and a utility called DRTCP you can download to adjust them. Their java based speed tests work better on 9X systems than most of the flash based tests, IMO. I don't have XP to compare to, but both of my 98 systems get the same speeds as my Win2000 system.
