Speed?  Memory?  Drive space?

IF, IF she insists on it, you'd probably be better off letting her go
elsewhere.  Unless that's a pretty darned good 486, supporting it will
be a nightmare.  It'll have a tendency to get sluggish easily.

By the way, don't look for Win95 on floppy.  I heard of a few very early
cases where it was on floppy, but there was a virus problem, according
to rumor.  And it takes an awfully long time to load.
