I can go back even further. While not useful as a full blown Mac -- i.e. A computer sold by Apple running Mac OS -- my parents still occasionally use my 2006 era Core Duo Mac Mini with 1.5 Gb of RAM. I put Windows 7 on it and they run Office and Chrome on it. It runs surprisingly well. The wifi is crap - 802.11g but it does have Gig-e Ethernet.

Just buy a dual-band 802.11n or 802.11ac USB WiFi adapter, you can buy them for less than $20. [0]
You won't get more than 20MByte/s over USB 2.0, but it should still be a massive improvement over 802.11g.
