Pentium 133
64MB Ram
Voodoo Banshee 16MB
Sound Blaster Pro2

Win98SE (This system dual boots with XP)
Xeon 3230
4CoreDualVSTA Motherboard
512MB Ram (2GB limited to 512MB for 98)
Radeon 9800 Pro
Diamond Monster Voodoo 2
SB AudioPCI

Windows XP (This system dual boots with Windows 10)
Xeon 5690
ASUS P6T7 WS Supercomputer Motherboard

The systems are used for their primary designation though I sometimes use the XP machine to some modern stuff under 10 as well.

To be completely honest with you I don't even know why would you use such a piece of trash OS like Win95. Sure I have it for fun with all of it's brokenness to boot it in for a causal 10 minute R&R but to play games on it or do anything on it? Just why?

Can't speak for anyone else, but for me Windows 95 is pure nostalgia. There is just something irreplaceable about that original Windows 95 bootup screen with it's palette shifting effect and that glorious Win 95 boot up sound. 😁

Pentium 4 Multi-OS Build
486 DX4-100 with 6 sound cards
486 DX-33 with 5 sound cards
