8 MHz CPU, 4 MB RAM, 50 MB hard drive, and 512 x 384 pixel black-and-white screen. My current desktop PC is on the order of 200,000 times faster...

Your current desktop PC runs at 1.6 THz?

Where can I get one?

Clock cycles no longer matter. You need to use floating point numbers. If he’s got an 8 core CPU running at a couple GHz

He's probably referring to FLOPS. Clock speed and the ability to do calculations are not necessarily connected. Multiply by number of processors.
