I've got a slightly out-of-date KDE running on a Via Ezra 500 MHz box
with 512 MB RAM, which may or may not qualify as PII or lower, depending
on your definitions:

Most of the eye-candy is active (shadows, transparency, etc.) and most of
the time, it's pretty responsive. I use the box as a remote ssh server,
web server, backup storage, and local game machine.
