Aside from a few early VAX models, I am pretty sure the Sun 3 machines are the oldest computers that can still run a full contemporary software stack (if you're patient).

Technically that would be a 1983 Sun 2, since netbsd/sun2 port is still maintained.

IIRC the Sun-2 has an 8 MB virtual memory limit, which prevents most modern programs from fitting.
