Drivers may be hard to come by for newer hardware since Microsoft stopped supporting 95 about 4 years ago.
How do hardware drivers work in dual boot systems? Do you have to have drivers for both operating systems? Maybe that's the way to go. You could still buy older hardware(not as old as what you have) and it would still be faster than what she has. A motherboard with a KT266 chipset would have been petty close to cutting edge at the end of Windows 95's life I think so you'll be able to find drivers for it. A new one will cost you about $30 and it uses DDR memory. An Athlon XP1500 CPU will cost about $50. Floppy, case, CD and hard drive and you've got your system. If you buy a new system from the big retailers it's going to come with an OS so...
Driver support is the thing I'd worry about with a new system. Send Microsoft an email and see if they have any suggestions other then upgrade.
