    Could Windows 95 really run well on only 32 megs of RAM?

      I did tech support for a computer line that had Windows 95 on 8MB of RAM. It was pretty snappy for its time. Windows 3.1 flew on that hardware.

      32MB of RAM on a PC? Only UNIX workstations and servers had that kind of luxury.

          I was also curious.

          https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000057218/processors.html

          After going through some Tom’s Hardware posts, it sounds like one of the B1 chips at that time was unable to do power saving modes? Maybe win 95 was incompatible with that?

          https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/b1-vs-c1-stepping.297173/post-1974732

          Edit: back with more info https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/119/Q119118/

          So I was wrong.

          Intel 386 microprocessors dated before April 1987 are known as B1 stepping chips. These chips are known to introduce random math errors when performing 32-bit operations, thus making them incompatible with Windows 95.
