Windows 95 *likes* all the ram you can give it, but all it *needs* is 2Megs. Yes, really.
Maybe it needs more if it's being emulated, but Windows 95 on an x86 machine only NEEDS 2mb.

Are you saying you only have 8MB RAM? W95 likes to have at least 16, and I have it set to use about 24 on my PowerBook. However, if you already have a W95 CD, the DOS version of RealPC is only about $30 to download from FWB, plus they usually have a 10% discount for first-time buyers. If you only have one program to run that might work for you. > > -- > JSH > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 12 Jun 2002 23:36:17 EDT > Subject: VirtualPC on 3400? > > Hi ... > I need to get an old (5+ years old, says it requires just 8mb ram, prefers > 16) Windows 95 app to run on a 3400/180.
