Of course, if you want to surf, Windows XP is a must since you won't get many up-to-date browsers for Windows 98.

I've got 512 mB and 446 mB of RAM on my desktop and laptop respectively, and both run incredibly sluggishly after running three or four different processes. So I would also suggest 98SE.
