I currently use Fluxbox and am very happy with it - I originally used it because it was fast on my P200, but I still use it on my Athlon 1900+ since I like it. It supports multiple desktops, tabbed Windows (I think this is great). When you right click on the desktop you get a application menu. It doesn't come with its own file manager, but I used to use Rox with it (nice and fast). I have also had good results with Xfce which looks a bit like CDE has a launcher and filemanager, plus other goodies. Another good, fast desktop environment is IceWM which is a bit closer to Gnome if that is what you are used to. If you are feeling hardcore then there is always EvilWM and Ratpoison.
