<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

Either buggy VGA driver or not enough ram. I found NS would do that with
8mb and with 12mb it wouldn't!
<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,
You do want it to cache on read from the HD, it helps. The exception is
with some IDE and SCSI drives there is hardware caching and smartdrv
just adds software to slow things down.
