Even a Core Solo mini would do for software development.

That's what I use.

(In fact, I wish all software developers would use the slowest machines
possible to develop software. If they did, maybe we wouldn't see such
bloated, slow monstrous software being released. ; )

Yeah. If I had a couple extra systems kicking around to do the compile
I'd be completely happy. Well, actually, dual core would probably be
nice. My application wouldn't take advantage of it, but it would let me
respond to run away applications better.

One of the languages I used to use was an interpreted language that
could be compiled (Prograph). We had to build a grid for it, and the
first version mostly sucked. I remember how happy I was when I got that
grid running faster in the interpreter than the previous version had run
in the compiler. And then I compiled it, and it was more than an order
of magnitude faster still. Ah, that was a good upgrade.
