Win95 WILL run on a 12MHz 386SX. But it needs
more than 4M RAM if you
want to leave "safe mode". Some others have been successful with only 4M,
but our experience was that it would only do safe mode until we added more
RAM.
I see. I never tried it on my sisters 386sx-25, since I thought the DX
was a requirement.
I did try Win 3.1 on my old 286-12, with about 1-1.5 megs of memory. It
was so slow, it took it a few minutes to finish crashing :-)
