Broadly speaking it's a pentium i686, but without pae. The fact that this machine is excluded from RH/CentOS doesn't bode well for Linux.
its late 2011, the world is finally moving to 64bit as the primary platform. this doesn't bode well for your old 32bit-only CPU. a 32bit only CPU can no longer be considered enterprise grade.
Snob appeal does work on a lot of people. Maybe in today's world it's a character flaw, but I prefer actual reasons.
