there's nothing wrong with a 386 running win3.1 i think the min requirements
for windont95 is 386dx-40 and 8meg.
i setup a ps2 model 57sx for a person that normally couldnt afford one and
put plenty of old software like msworks and publisher and some dos games as
well as an external 14.4 modem. a local isp will help her set it up for net
access and she's happy as a clam. it is slow, but certainly better than
nothing. heck, even doom 2 will run on a 386 if you run it in a small window!
