Install XP Home on a 1999 PC?

I have a 1999 Micron Millennia Max 733MHz P3 computer with 384MB RAM and a 28GB HD. These specs meet the requirements for installing XP Home... but I'm skeptical. I've had lots of problems with Win98SE, the current OS on the machine; too many crashes, etc. Have reformatted, reinstalled OS, etc., but it's still not very stable.

XP is reputed to be far more stable. But my sense is that older machines were geared for Win98, not XP. So my question is, is it advisable to reformat the HD and install XP-SP2, for which I have a CD?
