My SB 16 works just fine however and quite well I might add, that is why I recomend it. I have an SB 2 card and I gave it a try to see how well it would work and was unable to get it to work on anything I downloaded from the internet.

If you have a Sound Blaster 2 8-bit or less, you may find that you will not be able to play most anything on your pc that you download from the internet as these are only capable of sampling at 8-bit. This is due to that fact that most all audio formats used today will not play on anything less than a 16-bit sound card. Note: In order to play most all of the audio formats used today, you will need a Sound Blaster 16 or compatable sound card or better. MSIE 4 & 5 and Netscape 4.08 run slow on 66 mhz machines and should be reserved for 486 dx4 100 or pentium machines. I have discoverd Opera to be the fastest browser on my machine (486 dx2 66). If you are running a 486 DX/2 66 or less, I recommend MSIE 3.03 - Netscape 3.03 and Opera 3.62 as your choice browsers as they run pretty fast on 66 mhz machines. Once you have installed MSIE 3.03 or later, any other web browser you install can use that same dialer to connect to the internet. This is because it comes with an internet dialer that you need to establish a dial-up connection to your internet service provider. The easiest way to connect to the internet is in Windows 3.1 or 3.11 using MSIE (Microsoft Internet Explorer) 3.03 or later.

If you want more, update to Win 95 or better or if you want to continue Win 3.xx for whatever reason, try upgrading your Motherboard (Socket 4 or better), CPU (Pentium Class), and/or Memory (16-Meg or More). Realisticly speaking, most people out there who still have Windows 3.xx PC's are running it on a 486 Processor with about 8-16 meg of ram, which is ok for general web surfing, e-mail, and low end mutimedia. Now your not going to be able to get Windows 3.1 or any other 16-Bit OS to display and/or play really "High-End" multimedia or "Java Applets" as most of them all require a 32-Bit enviroment such as Windows 95 or better, but you can get it to play/view "Flash" and "Java Scripting" just fine as well as many of the popular audio and video formats out there, but the faster the CPU and the more memory you have will greatly boost your PC's performance in these areas. To connect to the internet with any effiency, you will need a 28.8 bps modem or faster. Connecting to the Internet on a Rockwell 33.6 Modem with MSIE 3.03, Opera 3.62, Netscape 3.04 & Arachne 1.70.Ĭonnecting to the Internet with your old Win 3.1 PC: My 486's Basic Specs Are: 486 DX2 66 CPU, 16 Meg Ram, A Master 325 Mb HD & A Slave 249Mb HD, Windows 3.1 W/ Win32's & Calmira II 3.3 installed, DOS 6.22.
