 1. Pentium 2 with 64MB RAM and 4GB HDD -
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1590614 - you may need to
    login to Ubuntu Forums to see the attached images.
 2. Pentium 4 64bit with 512MB RAM
 3. Pentium 4 32bit with 2GB RAM
 4. Due Core with 512MB RAM

Yes, all working nicely except the P2 one as I can't use it for daily stuff.
