I run RH8 with XFCE4 on a P166MMX with 96mb of RAM. I generally find
that this provides acceptable performance, provided you stick to lighter apps
such as Galeon/Epiphany, AbiWord, Gnumeric, etc. and don't try to multitask
too heavily. Also, try to keep within one toolkit, otherwise you'll start
swapping like crazy.
