What Matt said.  And if that doesn't work, try Lubuntu.
Or one of the newer Puppies perhaps?
There's always Arch if you fancy getting yer hands a bit dirty.

I can get an ageing Compaq to run Ubuntu/Mint with little trouble, but
it is blessed with a rather beefy ATI card.  If you can get the lappies
GPU to carry some of the GUI load, performance will always be better.
