I also recall win95 had a problem that caused data corruption in Prime95 if
you concurrently ran a process that used the MMX instructions, like movie
decoders, or various audio routines (there was a particular MIDI streaming
thing called Crescendo that caused numeric errors in prime95).   This all
worked fine in NT and win98.
