If you're feeling adventurous, you could try Windows NT 3.1. It runs beautifully on my G7S620 with a SB16, D- link network card, and a Matrox Impression Plus.
It's the fastest fully functional (with audio, networking, and high-res video) NT 3.1 system that I own. You're pretty much limited to running Windows 3.x software, but that's part of the charm.
That's an intriguing idea. I hadn't considered trying an earlier version of NT, since I wasn't sure how compatibility would work with the processor or even graphics.
I did have to use a modified SVGA driver to get 256 colors in Windows 3.11. Would the same driver likely work under NT 3.1?
