Give up on that idea - 64Mb is only enough for XP to barely run - although you have failed to specify, looks like the original processor (133MHz) is insufficient for XP as well
There was likely a good reason this machine is running Win95 - a more recent version of Windows would overwhelm it
Drivers are OS specific - have you tried searching for a Win95 one?

It would only just about make W98. I'd stick to W95 or get a machine with a far more ambitious spec.

Ditto that. If you want to run XP, you'll have to get a computer that meets the minimum specs. Located here:

... seems to be waiting for that requested email (shouldn't hold his breath)
Minimum specs are just enough to run an OS very poorly - - you'll be able to say "it runs" but little else
I tend to agree with Paul Thurrott's recommended specs:
500 MHz or faster Pentium III and 256 MB or more of RAM
That's my configuration (exactly) on my old Dell - while no powerhouse, it runs tolerably well
