It really comes down to what your expectations are.  Cheap and/or old
generally means 'not fast', but even hardware that's 'not fast' by
modern standards can handle a number of tasks quite well.  

I recently made the mistake of rebuilding openssl on a Pentium3 box,
cutting seriously into my beer time, but the day to day tasks it's been
assigned all those years the machine performs admirably.
