Actually, I think he's asking how (a) Win95 on his box with 128 megs running
in a VMWare session will compare to (b) Win95 on his box with 64 megs
running directly on the hardware.
I've never run Win95 directly on the box I run it (well, Win98) under VMWare
on, so I can't really answer that. I run it on a dual PII-366 with 128 megs
under VMWare and it's quite usable, though, if that helps you any.
