There's no doubt that it went in to upgrade plenty of 386s/486s until the owners upgraded their hardware.

You needed at least 12 MB RAM to run Windows 95 smoothly. There were plenty of 8 MB systems that really really struggled. Even booting up was a swap fest.
I remember immediately upgrading to 12 MB. 8 MB was painful.
Not all 386 class systems could be upgraded to 12 MB or more.
