I have worse to describe. In the day paeds unit where I work part-time,
there is ONE PC available for use by doctors. It runs W95, it has 32 Meg
of RAM, I did not notice what sort of CPU it has but since the BIOS is
dated 1996 you can guess from that. Surprisingly, it does handle the
internet not too badly. But we had to nag for over a year to get that
one ancient recycled PC into the unit.
