| Sure, but their mainstream OS didn’t support the bulk of the 80386’s capabilities until late 1995. That’s kind of insane if you think about it. |

| True, though Windows 95 kinda ran like crap on the 386. We were well into the Pentium era by then. |

| ▲ | icedchai 4 days ago | parent [-] | | Hah. I was being generous! My 386 box was collecting dust by that point. I did hear horror stories about people attempting to upgrade their 386 with 4 megs just to hit the "minimum" Win95 requirements and having their machines swap to death. |
