If you mean a old 400/500 MHz PentiumII/III would be better than a 1.6 GHz Atom processor, then you simply don't have a clue of what you are talking about, sorry. Atoms in-order architecture may be archaic and unable to give the finest results under heavy loads (with multiple different tasks in execution), but it is much faster than those old 400-500 pieces of junk
What about 2 GHz Pentium 4s? Well in the "junk" range but surely not much worse than an atom?
