Hum. That is not completely true, either. Some distributions stopped 
supporting 32 bit machines.

Each year you need more ram to run the same apps.

Proprietary drivers like NVidia stop publishing drivers for what they 
think is old hardware, and the open source version doesn't have the full 
feature set.

Modern videos use codecs that can not keep running fast enough on 
pathetic machines.
