I'd say pretty good, although the default software and configuration (for
example, X with GNOME and Nautilus) will probably be *very* slow... too
slow for comfort. However, if you're doing this to learn or experiment, or
are willing to put in the time and effort, you can change to a lighter and
faster window manager and select less resource-hungry applications, and you
should be able to make a useful box out of it.
I'm no expert, but from what you mention of the hardware I see no problems.
Worth a try!
Cheers,
