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,
