That depends entirely on what they want to do with the machine. My backup 
server is a Soekris net4801 with a 266 MHz SC1100. It's quite sufficient for 
Rsync over SSH and draws about four to five watts. (That particular model has 
end-of-life status now though.)

I agree that a time will probably come when 32-bit x86 processors are no 
longer manufactured, but we're not there yet.
