Meanwhile if you installed Windows 95 on its minimum supported 80386/4M RAM system, you could literally die while waiting for it to boot. I've personally witnessed it once, luckily was very young and had some runway.

- bitwize 4y agoThere was Pentium OverDrive which could take you from 486 to Pentium.
