There is a big difference between getting an OS to load and doing anything
usefull on the system you managed to barely load it on.

4M,
I had run 95 (original) on 386dx 25 16MB w/ 256K cache and decent HD.
Still acts like cold honey spreading slowly. Thinks through things
sluggardly.
Cheers,
Wizard

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 :-)
