Moving hard drives from one system to another with a different configuration without reinstalling the software is pretty touchy, since the software still "thinks" it's installed on the original system and has access to the same resources.

all modern computers have a 'idle' loop, just a simple loop that does nothing and fills up the time when there is not task that needs to be done
there are some good plugins for windows9x that replaces that loop with a hlt CPU instruction, turning off the CPU. this can be done on a millisecond, or even microsecond scale.
I ran this on my computer, and my *way* overclocked CPU ran with *no* heatup *at all*, room temprature all the way.
I had to take it off though, beacuse I could hear the CPU turning on and off through the sound card (FM interferance, if only it was faster than 44khz...) _ "Subtle mind control? Why do all these HTML buttons say 'Submit' ?"
well, I'm sure youre a mac freak who loves everything apple does, even when you're clearly wrong, however, from what I've seen, that thing is fucking ugly.

you can't have more then one menu open in windows ether.

As far as CPU and hard drive go, a p100 is more then enought to run windows 95. Remember '95 was orgionaly targeted at a 486 with 8 megs of ram. (they did miss the target by quite a bit, 8megs of ram was pretty bad....)
With windows it's all about ram, and lots of it (actualy, with netscape, IE, ICQ, AOLim and winamp open, my system routenly allocates over 150 megs of ram)
