However, Windows 95' will only let me select 256....according to Microsoft, Windows 95 DOES NOT support more than 256..it has nothing to do with the drivers installed....the OS itself has no compatibility.... If this is not true..I appologize, but this is what Micro said to me.. I run a Packard Bell 75Mhz, brand new and fully Win 95 compatible..and all i get is 256... If you know something I don't...please E-mail me personally! Frank
