The processor speed is not horrible, but not up to the latest tech, either. 256 MB of main memory is not enough, 512 MB is pretty iffy, and you would likely have to run one of the older versions of LinuxCNC. It isn't clear how much memory your specific unit has. if more than 512 MB, you are probably OK.
The remaining thing is how good the latency test is, the only way to know is to try it.
