I used to have athlon xp 2000 something and it was fine with a huge 
test session (like 70 mono tracks playback). The processor is not the 
problem.

You should look at and tell people about your kernel (realtime capable 
or not), your jack settings (realtime, buffer size etc) and your 
distribution to begin with. Hard to say anything without that.
