I think I'd agree with other comments here that there is something
else wrong... I'm running KDE4.5.0 on an Intel Atom 1.6GHz CPU, 2GB of
RAM, and an Intel 945 video card (EEE Netbook) and it's fine there.  I
can even run games (ok, not high demand games, but games like World of
Goo) and use some desktop effects without a significant desktop
performance hit.  Your hardware is way beyond what I'm running on....
you should not be seeing performance issues to the point where you're
needing to find a low resource DE.

The DEs suggested are quite nice by the way... LXDE, XFCE... even E16
are all nice.
