I'm running i386 7.1.2 with openchrome video and LXDE but I have 2mb RAM. I also have an older ECS A900 w/ Sis video,512mb RAM running OpenBox/Tint2/Wbar. LXDE was a rainy day experiment and required alot of effort to get it working. On both, I used packages rather than source. On the low end machines, it takes foreever to build applications and my attempt at cross-compiling failed.
If you are willing to use another WM, you should be able to do it. It is also possible to compile a custom 7.1.2 kernel w/ inteldrm/radeondrm removed.
