Same here - 866 PIII and 512MB RAM.  If I've got a few things running 
the cube tends to stutter a bit.
I've also got herd 5 running on a 700MHz Celeron and 384MB Ram with 
Intel 810i built in graphics and the eye candy wasn't installed when I 
installed Feisty and I don't want it any way.  I normally run Xubuntu 
6.06 LTS on this machine but feisty doesn't appear to be that much slower.

Having tried feisty on a dual core beasty with loads of ram and a 256MB 
graphics card I have say Beryl is quite good fun, but of no great help 
in the day-today running of the machine.
