Hi,
With older machines dating back to 2006, I had better luck using 32bits distros, maybe because they use less ressources/memory.
I still use Linux Lite 2.8 on some, still works great. I personnaly dropped Bodhi because of the "weird" interface and update/display bugs I had.
If you feel like it though, you can install XFCE on Bodhi. I tried and came out with a XFCE system using only 160MB at the time (on boot).
Didn't play with it too much though since Linux Lite 2.x had everything working without tweaking.
Bonus note : You can't "install" Bodhi on a 256MB system since the installer takes more than that. But, an installation from another PC/VirtualMachine can be cloned to it (i used Clonezilla). Crawls, but works.
Cheers!
