KDE can be a bit slow, try using GNOME and if that's slow go for XFCE failing that use FluxBox.

P1 233MHZ IIRC.
It's a pity I blew up the power suply (changed the voltage setting thing.. It was fun while it lasted (not long)) :(

From what I've read Longhorn will scale down easily machines much slower than that.

Yep. The minimum requirements for all of the nice pretty animated graphics might be up there, but Microsoft has said that if you have a weak computer Longhorn will automatically turn off all of the eye candy in order to scale down. Bascially it longhorn will look just like XP/2000 if your computer is weak.
