We have a Gateway 486 DX 2-66 with Windows 95 and it runs
SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW. It's most frustrating when surfing the Internet.
So, while it meets Microsoft's basic requirements, be prepared for a very
slow system. Also, I would think, for the most part, most programs,
including shareware, should run. We didn't have problems with running any
of our programs as there is backwards compatibility in Win98. Good luck!

For a Gateway 486 DX2-66 running windows 3.1 with 40MB memory and 400 MB
free hard drive space, are there any known problems for installing Windows
98?
Can Windows 98 be installed over 3.1?
can you install windows 98 and retain Windows 3.1
I can imagine that some programs, especially shareware will not run under
Windows 98, but I also assume that major programs such as Quick Books, all
Microsoft programs, and etc will run without problems.
Thanks
