How long ago was this? According to the spec sheet (http://www.dell.com/downloads/us/products/optix/gx270_spec.pdf), the Dell Optiplex 270 came with Windows 2000 or XP and an 800 MHz Pentium processor. This sounds like a relic from about 2001 or 2002, which is eons ago when it comes to computers. Given that Ruby on Rails is much more demanding of computer resources than word processing, spreadsheets, email, or casual web browsing, I can't imagine trying to get anything done on such a clapped-out beater.
