Two suggestions: 1) don't run it in Win 95 if you can (it can crash under
some circumstances), and 2) if you must play it there, have 32 MB of RAM or
so. Don't forget, Win 95 needs some "overhead" to be able to keep itself in
good condition; so it actually robs you of some of that needed memory. 32 MB
will leave you plenty of breathing space. I have 32 MB on both machines, and
I haven't seen much of a difference between running in Windows and DOS.
