I have a friend who is happy with this setup - Dell 486DX 250(50mhz on 25mhz
bus), 16MBram, 2G HD with Promise controller card, 33.6modem, W95a, etc.
For the older software he uses his system is very snappy.   He did a CLEAN
install of W95a rather than an upgrade over 3.1(you can do this with the W95
upgrade version).  He did have IE 3.0, but he upgraded to 5.5 and says it is
much faster than 3.0.

Subject: slow

I have been used to run in DOS mode and win 3.1 but now I have a problem
with my speed on EI and just about everything on my computer while in
win95, I ran a diag and it said  wait staits may be wrong too low but in
dos its great and real fast with 1 sim in the slot but gets slower when I
add more, I run at 16 megs of memory now and about 100mhz cpu and I was
wondering why it slows down in internernet explorer so much and why it
take along time to load a page.
thanks
