| 66907 | 2002-07-31 06:45:00 | The fact that you can boot from a CD with win3.1 (is that the IBM disk that was available a few years ago with IBM dos+win3.1 ?) suggests that your bios is not 'all that old' and that the motherboard is maybe a PCI. 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. |
