Originally posted by born4linux definitely, ur system will crawl if u wish to run X. but it still depends on the X setup that you make.
Until recently I was running RH7.1 w/ X (+ KDE) on a P166 at work. Performance was not that bad but I wasn't pushing it very hard either (mostly xterms, emacs, and xdvi). I upgraded it to RH8.0 and now I can honestly describe it as crawling.
