I was running a dual PIII with about the same specs not
too long ago. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't really
peppy either. The biggest problem is likely to be the
video. There are so many older video cards no longer
supported by the shipped xorg. You might want to try
a livecd and see if it can talk to the video.
