More importantly, what desktops to run. They'll all run on resource-starved computers, but some run better than others. I hate to get into Gnome vs KDE vs XYZ, but fact of the matter is, Gnome and KDE are pretty heavy compared to lesser desktops (XFCE, Fluxbox, etc.)
Where distros come into play is: what desktop environment they install by default, and whether they even have alternative, light-weight desktops on the installation CDs so you can choose them with little effort.
