Really? Never thought that would work with a 486 :O

Just built a Windows 95 machine for retro gaming here, with an SB Live and
installed Winamp and it didn't play MP3's without skipping badly in a 66DX.
I switched the mainboard out to a K7VMM with AMD CPU, set the BIOS to not do
any caching, and it's working well now with my old MP3's.

In fact, I'm typing this out from it right now
