I can tell you this much.  I've been trying to install FreeBSD 4.10 and 
5.2.1 without success.  The machine is a 400MHz AMD K6-2 with 128MB of RAM.

Try booting a Knoppix-STD CD to see how it runs on your PC.  The use of 
a light-weight window manager such as Fluxbox, which is what STD uses, 
might make the system run smoother.  http://knoppix-std.org/

I could mail RH 9.0 to you if you wish.
