A little tidbit from the web:
Some folks seem to have endless trouble with Win95.  What are
the chances you are one of them?  Try this "Pop Quiz"...

Installation:
1)  Did you install over existing Win3.1x?

2.1)    Did you add EDO RAM to a pre-EDO system?            
2.2)    Did folks say EDO would work on a pre-EDO mobo?    
2.3)    Did you believe them?
