Who still uses Windows 95?

[bball4life]

I had a customer ask me once, "...how long has windows 98 been out " ?

What a genius.

Windows 95 came out in year 95. In augest i belive....

i have an AMD 160(OCed) 64mb ram, 420MB HDD, trident 1mb video card and win95 4.0. it all runs extreamly slowly.

You have 4X the RAM that i had on my WIN95 machine... and a faster CPU (mine was a P133). Lucky.

95 PLUS! came out sometime in '96 if I'm not mistaking. That had the 32bit support included with it.

It's sad to think that my Gateway 2000 with Windows 95 was around $6,000 and my new Dell with 1 GB Ram, a 160 GB hdd (the gateway's only got 3 GB), HD soundcard, and an intel dual core 2.80 GHz processor(s) was only $650...
that's Moore's Law for you...

 

[jp198780]

yeahh, lol, good deal on your Dell, i gotta Gateway 2000 keyboard on my 240 lol, until i get a new 1...

 

[timothyb89]

The Gateway 2000 keyboards are awful- I use the old one on my laptop.
The keys make a ver annoying and loud noise when u push them...
I can say, Windows 95 was big while the was new..
Then: amazing
Now: crap

 

[jp198780]

yup, very loud, i have the original keyboard that my 110 came with, loud also lol.

I remember looking over an HP laptop that ran right about $5,000 with 95 on it some 7yrs. ago. Now you can grab a few different brands for under $800 with XP on them and 512mb of ram over the 128mb at the time.

 

[timothyb89]

Wow...
128 MBs of RAM?
That has more memory than my Windows ME laptop... (which just has 64 MBs)
I never knew 95 supported that much RAM...

WIN 95 can run on a 1gb system when recently tried along with WIN 3.1 as a dual boot with Linux. WIN 98 is the one with 512mb limitations. To get around that you add a new line and even a new section in the Autoexec.bat file. Under the "[ENH=386]" section you simply add the "MaxPhysPage=30,000" line in under the title there to have 98 run normally. When running a pair of Corsair xms series 512s 95 and 3.1 alike went right on.
