If you're happy with what you've got then you don't need to do anything.
I mean, how much support have you had from Microsoft while they have been supporting Win98?
Just because they're going to stop supporting it doesn't mean you have to upgrade.
However, as time goes on you will find that more and more new software requires more and more processing power and memory.
e.g. The latest google earth offering requires WinXP, 2.4 GHz processor, 512MB Ram and 2 Gigabytes of disk space.
If you are not having problems with your setup then stay with it. Put a bit away every month so that when you absolutely have to upgrade you have some cash ready and waiting... :2cents:
