Our hospital now considers any computers less than 300 MHz as "old" and
needing to be replaced. Most of our software venders now say that anything
less than that is not acceptable for their applications, most also want 64
Mb of memory.

Our department still uses 486/33's and WordPerfect 5.1 for word processing
and they are very reliable.
