The oldest processor that fits the bill is the AMD Athlon 64 3200+, a part first introduced to the market in September 2003, 11 and a half year ago. It's slow (about half the Passmark score of the Baytrail-based Intel Atom Z3735G found in many entry level, sub-£100 tablets) but I chose not to underclock it. The computer that housed it is a Mesh computer, one that comes with an Nvidia-powered Asus motherboard with onboard graphics, four 256MB DDR memory modules, a 40GB hard disk drive, a DVD ROM drive and even a floppy disk drive.
