I've that same machine, K6-2 at 450Mhz, but with 128Mb of RAM and is running flawlessly with Etch and XFCE. I agree with Mike, you’d try Debian Etch.

Debian Etch with Gnome desktop runs just fine on P3@650Mhz laptop with 256MB RAM. After boot only about 100MB ram is in use. And eg. all of these are running: Beagle, NetworkManager, PowerManager, Update-notifier, Glipper, Avahi, PulseAudio etc etc. You really should try Debian Etch, it’s much faster and it uses much less memory than Ubuntu.

Does a good job with hardware detection and is highly customizable (if you don't like the default window manager, which is fast but... you can easily install another one).

They should come up with full release when Gutsy is released.
