I've been pretty happy with my P2/333/128MB machine. Watching movies
works just fine. I've added a cheap USB-adapter card which claims to
support 2.0. Not sure if your ADSL will work with that.

Factors which may affect usability/performance:
1. I have FC2 running, but I don't actually use the Gnome desktop. 
2. OpenOffice takes a while to start.
3. I have a (Nvidia) graphics card with 32MB VRAM.
