A bit like Win98SE :)

Win95 had a slightly lower memory requirement than other OSes by MS.
IIRC, Win95 could run inside (just) on 16meg of ram.

Not really. Win95 was the first of the 32bit OSes from MS, but had a
large 16bit engine to continue running all your favourite 16bit apps
from. In fact, some parts of the OS were still 16bit such as the
winsock for example, but they started upgrading bits and pieces as
they went ;)
