Windows 95 is the oldest OS I can think of that supports 32 bit
apps without a huge upgrade. And Euphoria is 32 bit duh :P

I do believe Windows 95 requires at least 4 MB of RAM to run at all.
Also if your Windows 95 version is older than OSR2 then your file
system is limited to FAT16 thus 2 GB MAX size partitions.
I think you mean 512 MB on a older Pentium 3 system. Which is fine.
Not for games but just dandy for Euphoria. :)
