Considering my first Windows 3.0 machine was a 16 mhz 386 with 2mb of ram, I would think a 400 mhz ARM processor can easily run/emulate Windows 3.1.
You'd be surprise, but not in a good way. You can get DOSBox to run Win3.1 (on a N8XX), but the start-up time is in the minutes, there are screen delays and the mouse/pointer thing still needs some work.

There a thread somewhere about running Win3.1 through DOSBox on a N900, but I think it's still slow & suffers from the same issues as above. That, dispite the fact the N900 has a processor that's about 2x more powerful than the N8XXs
