I've found Alpine, AntiX, and SliTaZ Linux to be pretty snappy even on ancient machines with specs on that order of magnitude. AntiX works the best out of the box of those 3 IMO, but the other two are fine if all you want is light browsing, word processing, or servers.
There's also the Puppy Linux family and FatDog & friends which (by default) run from RAM but still provide persistence.
LXLE is another good distro for slightly better machines (ie >=1.5 ghz, >2gb RAM).
