Windows 95 Questions
Whats the maximum hard drive/partition size that is supported by Windows 95? Whats the fastest processor that 95 will support? And finally, what is the most memory you can stuff into a Windows 95 machine?

With FAT16 (Win95, Win95A) the max. partition size is 2 GB. With FAT32 (Win95B, Win95C) the max. partition size is 2 TB.
Don't know if there is a fastest CPU for Win95, it should run on today's CPUs as well. Max. memory for Win9x is 512 MB I believe (but if you have more you can tune Windows.. .. at least you can do that with Win98, dunno about Win95). RJ

I'm not sure about the fastest CPU, but I know when you get near the 1Ghz Range the timing with the OS can cause conflict and makes it very touch and go.

Interesting one.
Has anyone managed to run a HD larger than 32GB with Win95 OSR2 in FAT32? http://support.microsoft.com/default...NoWebContent=1 Not sure what the fastest CPU that will run reliably with Windows 95. However, I do remember that a Windows update was necessary to run CPUs faster than the AMD K6-2 350MHz. |

The AMD K6-2 issue was the "loop" command I think, and it also happens with the P4 CPUs as well (to run W95 on a P4 you will need the same patch), but not with 350MHz in general.

I know Win98 has issues at 2.1Ghz and over, and they have a fix for it, but I'm not sure offhand if this fix applies to Win95.

Natively, Windows 95 only supports 350 MHz processors. To go faster, you need a patch.
Dunno, but the 2.1 GHz limit appears to only apply to W98FE! At least the Hotfix is numbered as such. Last edited by RayH; 07-10-2003 at 09:08 PM. |
