Those at least started with Windows7 back then. I have a laptop here that still has that "Windows XP ready" sticker. And a PC from -as mentioned- pre-UEFI times with some hybrid system (basically BIOS with 64bit compatibility) that started originally with a classic MBR partitioned disk.

But hey... that's still nothing in terms of Linux support. Recent kernels still support (but are soon to drop) 486-architecture.
