I ran Drupal on a similar system for a whole and found it fast enough. 
384 megs of ram is more than enough (I ran with 64 megs) and you should
not get low memory warnings.   Perhaps this is a hardware issue?



Depending on your card, you may need to load the module by hand.  What
does lspci show (CTRL-ALF-F2 to get into a console)
