If its PCI then some of those also ran AMD 586 chips which went well, more or less equivalent to Pentium 75/90, and you may also have a reasonable PCI video card, and onboard I/O. So it could just handle Win98SE with a bigger hard drive and another 16MB of ram.

If the mother board is an ISA or VESA, then Win 95 is as much as it will take.

All that's IMHO.

Thanks all for your responses! Yeah, I think now that installing Win98 will be stretching it, so Windows 95 seems the better choice.
