Believe me or not, but I have installed such a configuration, back in '95, the company I worked for had MSDN subscription and I had some beta of W95. Additional feature was my cenosoic Trident 8800 512K card... enough to say it ploughed all over my disk if you ran more than one task (and my little daughter was three, and has just learned how to use the mouse, so she ran ten). After a successfull solitaire, I had the time to go to the bathroom, drop to the kitchen, and get back just in time to watch the aces fall...
