I'm running KDE on top of Debian on a PII 350 MHZ Dimensions XPS with 
384MB memory. I'm new to Linux and have legacy projects requiring 
SigmaPlot so I also run W2K in VMware 4.5 (they say it can't, but it's 
doin' it), usually with noatun playing some tunes. The VMW2k has 128MB 
memory relegated to it and is a bit sluggish with StarOffice and 
SigmaPlot fired up: but this is most apparent when accessing shared host 
folders.

If you walk me through the commands to give you the output you requested 
I'd be willing to do so.
Cheers!
