Heh, my K6-2-266 is running windoze, and i thought 32meg would be enough
when i built it, boy was i a fool. It's not as bad as the 586-133 with
12meg, which took minutes to draw a window sometimes, but there could still
be seconds after a click before anything happened. Win95 doesn't even become
heavily useable till you get to 64Meg, and if you don't like lots of memory
swaps to the harddrive, you'd better get 96Meg or more.

You could look at Win3.11 (on MSdos) or DRdos, both have GUI, both can be
TCP/IP'd. Don't ask me *how*, for i don't know.
