The main problem is that such computers are way too slow for today's operating systems and applications. Today, the problem isn't so much the clock rate, but the fact that the CPUs used much less efficient instructions and were not multicore like today. The companies could make more efficient computers than what was produced back then if they wanted to, and using that same clock rate. Plus the memory during that time period was very slow.
Socket 7 is used by the following processors: * Intel Pentium (75 MHz to 200 MHz) * Intel Pentium MMX (166 MHz to 233 MHz) * AMD K5 (75 MHz to 133 MHz) * AMD K6 (166 MHz to 300 MHz) * AMD K6-2 (233 MHz to 550 MHz) * AMD K6-III (350 MHz to 500 MHz) * WinChip (180 MHz to 250 MHz) * Cyrix 6x86 (100 MHz to 233 MHz) Note that most Socket 5 processors can also be used on a Socket 7 motherboard.
Officially a 233 mhz processor but with a few twists and turns (Figurative not literal) you can get it all the way down to 7 mhz
Mhz
No, 300 MHz is pretty slow for a netbook or computer. Most netbooks would be around 1600-2000 MHz and computers having about 2400 and up.

Here's an essay on Advantages and Disadvantages of Computers.
As an absolute, that may never be known. Officially, Windows XP requires a 233 MHz Pentium processor. Experiments conducted by various people have run Windows XP on processors underclocked to just 7 MHz.

Socket 7 supported CPUs include: 2.5V - 3.5V Pentium 75-200 MHz and Pentium MMX 166-233 MHz, AMD K5 through K6, Cyrix 6x86 (and MX) P120 - P233.
Yes, but this is generally considered the bare minimum. The system will run but will likely be too slow for practical use.
Extremely slow computers, Curiosity has 200 MHZ, Apollo had 1.5 mhz computer. NASA uses Macs and PCs in Mission Control (not Linux).
