Planet CCRMA's Fedora Core1 is working just fine here for me on a bit of an older machine (Athlon 1Ghz, 384mbs of ram, Geforce 3, midiman 4/10).

think the trick with any of the bigger desktop targeted distros is to really turn off as many of the startup deamons you can. Don't need to print? Turn it off. No need NFS? Turn it off!
The problem is: Why install all these things in the first place, if you never need it? Why is turning things off necessary?
Some distributions even make turnings things off unnecessarily hard - I'm thinking of Suse here (and also MS-Windows, MS-Word,MS-IE,..., kind of.)
That's why personally I prefer Debian. It only does what I tell it to. This is not to say that other distributions are bad or anything (I'm too old for this kind of discussion ;) but if you want a fully pre-configured distribution with lots of desktop bells and whistles, than use one. But if you want a highly customized one, than try Debian or Gentoo or Slack.
