Xubuntu is simply Ubuntu with xfce as its default desktop (ubuntu, kubuntu, edubuntu, nubuntu, flubuntu and xubuntu all use the same repos anyway). Xfce runs quite well on older hardware and it's much faster than either KDE or gnome. Give xubuntu a try. If that fails your needs, try using a window manager instead of a full desktop. The fluxbox and WindowMaker window managers (in the repos) are super fast and light on system resources.. not to mention beautiful and easy to use.
