     It may be new, however, it has proven itself to me as far as 
working with games is concerned.  I have been using Win95 for a while
now and I have tried it with many different types of games; from Sierra
adventures to WingCommander III.  I ran both Descent and Freddy Pharkas
simultaniously without any problems.....under 8MB of RAM.
