That's very similar to my trusty Celeron (Mendocino) 400 - except mine does SETI as well, so double the wall-time for the same number of CPU seconds.
I used to run a 466 MHz Mendocino, before the temperature sensor on the motherboard went wacky. I found that crunch times for it and the Pentium II Poweredge were about the same. I guess that figures, since both run on a 66 MHz bus.

I also run a 466 Mendocino over at Seti where it has crunched continuously from when I first joined Seti classic in 1999. The machine was purchased in 1998 and the FSB was immediately overclocked to 75MHz (525MHz CPU speed) where it has remained ever since. The machine never gets turned off and everything is still original, including the monitor, PSU and HDD. It runs Win98 and I used to reboot it after 2-3 weeks to get around the issues that occurred it you let it run longer. That stopped when I discovered the joys of the unofficial Win98 service pack which I installed a few years ago. I didn't have to reboot any more and the machine has uptimes in the 6-12 month region, depending of the frequency of power failures.
Another oldie that I run continuously is a Dell 450MHz which was upgraded to 550MHz a few years ago. It runs E@H and I just remembered about it recently so I upgraded the science app from 4.26 to 4.36. The last 4.26 task it did is still visible waiting for the wingman and there are two 4.36 tasks as well. Quite a speed improvement visible there - blazingly fast these days :-).
I know the new Intel Atom processor isn't so "vintage", but according to it's preformance I say here that my Atom 230 host runs Einstein@home, but only for test purpose.

Very interesting. The BOINC benchmark deems it moderately slower than my 930 MHz Coppermine, but I think it uses quite a lot less power. It will be interesting to see the actual Einstein performance relative to benchmark.

Yours supports SSE3?
Of course. Atom supports MMX,SSE,SSE2,SSE3,SSSE3 and EM64T instruction sets.
The whole computer eats 44W and has a very poor computing performance.
( My Q6600 eats 98W, but seems to be much faster. )

44W is an aweful lot, more than my Yonah dual core MacMini. I guess it's some kind of a test-bed / development board that isn't optimized at all for low power-consumption?

This is an Intel D945GCLF mini-ITX board with a 360W power supply, 80GB hard disk and one DDR2 memory module.
the mobile atom only uses 2 (or 4?) watts of power max and has an equally miserly chipset, so I'm assuming it's one of the desktop varients.
Since I'm considering getting an atom based laptop (MSI wind - 6hr battery FTW!) myself I'd be interested in how fast it actually crunches WUs. I know it's normal benchmarks are right around the p3/athlon 900 level, but am hoping the more advanced SSE instructions will help a bit in crunching.
That Atom seems to use a lot of power considering the claims for cpu power usage. Just checked my Pent M and it uses 55W, AOpen desktop motherboard (inbuilt graphics and sound), 2 * 512 sticks of memory, 160 GByte SATA HDD and a DVD.
Intel spec says cpu max power is 27W.
Measured floating point speed 2140.06 million ops/sec
Measured integer speed 4290.78 million ops/sec.
