	It should run as smooth as any game in DOS does if it is run
in full screen mode, especially on the systems you've listed.  I have
a 486DX2/66, 16MBs RAM, 2MB VRAM VLB Video Card, and Hover does appear
choppy in a Window but runs smoothly in full screen mode.  Regardless,
Hover's just a bad game to use as an example of Windows 95 games. 
Take a look at Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure.  This plays as well or
better than any DOS game I've seen.  Besides, sticking to DOS would be
stupid since the majority of new games being released are for Windows
95 and although Windows 95 does offer support for DOS, DOS is now
pretty much obsolete.

Just my 2 cents worth,

Calvin
