My old laptop (still in use actually) is a 486 100Mhz with 12Mb RAM and
an upgraded, multi-Gb hard drive. It still works excellent running SuSE
6.1 (no one compiles for such low-end processors anymore :'() and X with
an FVWM2 desktop, apache, php, and respectable response speed.
Just thought I'd cast my vote for lowest-end PC.
As for Mac, I'm running a Mac PPC7200 (and a 7100) with YDL. The 7200 is
90Mhz and the 7100 is 80Mhz, both with ~16Mb RAM, and <1Gb hard drives.
Perfectly adequate for music decompression though.
