Re: inhereted old computer
One concern with older machines like the one you've inherited is that the cost of the electricity may be higher than the value of operation.
In any case, I suggest that you dump Windows 95 and get a copy of Damn Small Linux:

One claim: "Run light enough to power a 486DX with 16MB of Ram".
You should be able to run xboard along with the latest Crafty to get a graphical interface.
