You would think the biggest bottle-neck would be your ram at 160Mhz?
(166 for DDR single-channel). You would run great using XP or Win2K.

160MHz would make it DDR2-667Mhz or PC-5300 memory. With 64 bit
memory transfers (normal for a 64 bit OS and an AMD X2 processor), the
transfer rate is:
xfer rate = clock rate * bus multiplier * DDR doubler * 64 bits
= 160 Mhz * 2 * 2 * 64
= 5120 MBytes/sec
Methinks that's fast enough for most applications.
