My system consists of the following:

Motherboard P5HX-B (I believe its made by ECS) supports upto P200(MMX)
CPU :   iP120
Mem :   32 meg EDO

and all the usual peripehrials FDD, CDR,Modem, etc. running WIN95 ver2.0

I would like to upgrad the CPU to iP200MMX and add an extra 64 meg of RAM
(2 x 32 meg 72pin SIMMS)

I understand that Windows 95 has trouble recognising/using memory beyond
the 64 meg (even if the chipset can handle the extra RAM) Is this trueand
is there a work around it?

Are there DOS programs which will actually slow down the system with that
much (96meg) RAM?

Finally in doing this swap what do I have to be looking out for?

Thanks for your help.
