i have a athlon k6 which is 500MHz. I've ran 98, 2K and XP on it. I will tell you right now, your RAM will enfluence the speed more then the CPU. As you go up from 98 to 2k to XP the memory requirements increase much more then the processor speed.

What exactly do you want to do with this computer? I have 2K on my K6 right now and it runs just fine, not slow at all. It's also a headless file server that is only running enough processes to keep the network connection up and run winamp. I don't even have antivirus on it, as it's isolated from the internet.
