1.8GHz? Luxury! My main PC is still a 1.2GHz Athlon that I've had for
over 5 years. I keep trying to come up with reasons for why I should
upgrade this box that works fine and does everything I need it to do.
But I still can't really justify upgrading.

And Linux requires even less horsepower, if you avoid GNOME and KDE.
My box running WindowMaker under Fedora 7 is snappier than more
powerful machines I've used that ran Windows. A 3.0+GHz P4 would
be more than good enough for any Linux desktop.
