Yes. I've been using a 386DX with 128k cache with Win3.1 and Netscape 3.0.
Doesn't seem significantly slower than my friend's P90 with W95. Sometimes
Netscape crashes with some .JPG files (GP fault in the VGA driver) and I
have to start over.
Haven't tried much newer, it doesn't seem right to require a 300MHz
processor and 64MB ram to mostly read email, much less type mail messages!
I did adjust several things, like remove smartdrv's "buffering" for the HD, etc.
