Upgrading from Win98SE to Win2000

I am running Win98SE on a legacy Pentium II computer with 448 MB of RAM.  I plan to get a new computer soon with lots more power to run Vista.  But for now, I need to get my work done on the old one.  The problem is that I do lots of online research involving downloads of PDFs.  About 25% of the PDFs won't display in my Adobe Acrobat Reader 6, presumably because they were created with a newer version.  I want to upgrade the reader, but Reader 7 won't run on Win98, only Win2000 or XP.  

Therefore, I have a 2-part question:  
1.  Can I safely upgrade my computer to Win2000 without causing myself problems?  How do I do that safely?
2.  Is there anywhere to get an inexpensive upgrade to Win2000?  (I'll only be using it for a few months, and don't want to spend a lot of money on it)

Thanks very much.
