I wouldn't say that you will be able to use Openoffice at that computer
even if it fits into hard drive space. I have here dual P4 with 1Gb of
RAM and openoffice is kinda slow for my taste.
For GUI: do not install any "graphical environments" like KDE or Gnome.
Just use some lightweight window manager, like icewm/blackbox, for example.

It's a well-known bug in Pentium processor. Don't panic -- Linux has
workaround for this so you'll have no problems with it.
