That's about the speed and RAM of one of my systems and it works fine
with Ubuntu running GNOME. My guess is the light window manager won't
improve things a lot -- GnuCash will take a minute or so to start up,
some reports will take several minutes to run, but data entry and
simple reports like searches will be plenty fast, regardless.
