  Win95 doesn't multitask very good.  Try this, play a wav or a mod then
insert a cd-rom, or access you A: drive, it halts the system for a second
or so. 
  Question is, is Win95 very different than Win3.1x?

Win95                               | Win3.1x
------------------------------------+------------------------------------------
