I've been in Sydney the last couple weeks using my old P233 laptop with 96Mb
of RAM. I find that sawfish (the usual gnome compliant WM) and the gnome panel 
is quite fast even on this old thing (no pixmap type themes though). Also,
unless you really want a GUI file manager consider killing off GMC or
Nautilus, I know I don't miss them at all.

Oh and if you haven't tried already, grab the preemptible kernel patches too
;)
