I have some IBM Aptiva and Sony and HP 200mhz pentium computers and they came with
Win95
I have some IBM Aptiva Win98 computers that came with Pentium 233 or AMD K6
I think it was common after the pentium 200mhz they used Win98
Yes. Well in '97, there were already PII systems in the stores that people could afford. And around the time Win98 released, the final round of PII's were also on the market. I remember people purchasing PII's with Win95 on it. I'd say the approximate transition was at the PII 300 MHz level. PMMX systems would have been super budget systems by mid-98 if the manufacturer decided to use them then. I know PMMX would have been budget, because even I had an PMMX chip in '97, and I never have spent really any money on any system I have ever built.
Win98 will run fine on a PMMX with plenty of memory, which everyone has enough memory now, but I was never a fan of the desktop enhanced IE4, and Win95 was an easy way to avoid that, and some people still do that.
