Well, if there's no way that you can install linux alongside the windows
95 installation, then use the following:
http://anandtech.com/litestep
It's afterstep for windows 95. It replaces explorer (the wm) and uses less
or as-much memory depending on the settings.
You should really look into installing linux (one of the most popular
FREE unix-like operating systems systems available, and in most cases,
more advanced than commercial unices) on your computer. It is 32-bit true
multitasking, etc, etc... and runs on intel. You can get a Linux CD for as
little as $7 (including shipping) from www.lsl.com ...
Once you install that, you can install any window manager you want.
