Yep, my 386sx/25 that was the 16bit databus variant for laptops and low
end systems.
The system is actually AT class miniboard with 4 ISA slots (Video board,
comboboard 2 serial 1 parallel,and an IDE/FDC board) and maxed out
at 16MB of ram. In a very compact box for its time (about 1996).
Its .75bogomips running an old version Slackware. Decent command
line machine but running X is SLOoowwww. That is officially the oldest
and slowest PC I have. The other OSs for it are OS2/Warp3, Concurrent386,
and of course DOS3.11.
For slowest and longest continued use the K2/450 running WIN/NT4, doing it
slowly since 2000. Longest uptime about 6 months, between replacing fans
and power supplies that is. The system drive is a 500mb Fujitsu(still
running
and has the system). A 4.3GB installed in 2003 for more space to replace
a cramped 1.07gb Baracuda (that went into a MicroVAX).
The two other I have that compete for speed are a 11/23B running unix V6
and a MicroVAX2000 running ultrix V4.2.

I doubt that. I think p850ug1 (this machine) is the slowest
linux box currently in use. Can anyone beat 1.15 bogomips?
Pity... I have an Indy. I put linux on it, as
the Irix install was messed
up. It's the slowest linux box ever... (;
No it isn't. My 486 laptop is
the slowest ever, or at least the slowest
ever that's still in use :-) If you wanted to put Irix 5.3 on it, I
