256MB is not enough for GNOME based desktops, Ubuntu itself sets the minimum amount at 384MB. The previous E17 based versions of gOS could get away with less, and maybe the "light" version of gOS 3.0 that was announced (see Technical FAQ) will run well with 256MB. The CPU speed is almost irrelevant if there is just too little RAM.
