 Maybe a slightly more terse explanation will help:
I run NT 4.0 on a 233 MHz Pentium II box, and have run 95 on the same machine
(no Windows 98 in my immediate future). I have tinkered with 3D Studio on both,
and find NT to be a little faster, though not worth the expense of shelling out
the $$$ for it unless you're dedicated to 3D! The crashproofness just doesn't do
it for me with NT. The operating system itself is more robust than 95, but
program crashes aren't reduced.
Go with a fast processor and stick with 95, or throw out some money for NT and
try installing a few boards in it; Fun fun fun!
