The oldest device I have actually used to access a web site was a Sun SparcStation 20, built ca. 1992-93.
However, at 64MB RAM, accessing the "modern web" would be extremely, painfully slow, at best. In fact, the memory-hunger of modern browsers renders older machines practically unusable faster these days than any other factor, at least that has been my experience.
