>It makes no sense to me why Autodesk would go through all the trouble to keep max from running under win95.< I think they are wise not to support Win95, it would be a hassle. I just installed the shipping Win95 and I have to say I think it is a dog. The multitasking is nothing compared to NT. I don't think Win95 can handle an application like 3DS MAX. Six months from now NT will have the full Win95 interface, and it only requires 4-8MB more RAM than Win95. You won't be able to run 3DS MAX 16MB under NT or Win95, the minimum will be 32MB for a realistic system. A good system will need 64MB. I'm not going to run a rinky-dink OS like Win95 on a Alpha or P6 based system. The reliability of NT will run circles around Win95. 3DS MAX is high end software, more so than 3DSR4, if you are going to be a professional animator you wouldn't even think about using Win95. Have you used NT? Win95 doesn't compare.
