Opensuse is slow on my old hardware, but Windows 2000 ran faster on this hardware than Opensuse does. It would be nice if it ran a little faster, but even though it is slow, I have come to like Opensuse and Linux. I have almost a gigabyte of memory and it is sorely taxed by the system. Out of the 768MB of memory I usually have around 130 to 200MB free memory. This does cause me some concern, but again, I like the operating system and I wait for it to do its thing. I am in no hurry, so I wait.
How to you check for free memory? You know that Linux uses available memory for file system cache? If/when that memory is needed by an app, the file system cache will give it back.
