OP you stupid, evil, cocksucking liar..
I'm running Windows Vista on a Core 2 Duo with 4GB of memory and it's not "slow as shit". Maybe you are.

As to your question, Debian with DE/WM of your choice

Fresh install, Windows 7 can run easily on that machine. XP should run more buttery smooth than any Linux Distro apart from security.
