My non-scientific observation:

Running win98 in the beta appears little different than running it in
the released version.  win95 is much improved in the beta, however.  I'm
running build 305 on a K6-2/350 with 64 MB (32 allocated for vmware).
I'm sure more memory would help here.  It was unusable on a P-150.
