I choose Win NT 3.51 over WFW 3.11 because of built in Networking and miscellaneous programs included. WFW had built-in networking as well, that's why it was called Windows for Workgroups .

Yeah, It's going to be a retro Audio Studio build with Terratec audio cards. One ISA and TWO PCI cards. Oh, wait. They are all PCI cards. In which case I can go with Socket 755 Core-2-Quad or 1155 i5-3470 CPU. Or AMD. What do you think ?
