So far my best fit and "out of box" system is Antix version 8.2 or 8.5. Puppy Linux is good also but because uses compressed root file system I think this feature eats some of your MHz. PuppyLinux 4.3.1 is the best balance between old PC and modern software. Good luck and post the results.

try Peppermint One or Peppermint Ice also.
