Fast Ubuntu on old pc?

My regular pc died last week so I had to revert to my old trustworthy PentiumII 450 Mhz. It has 384 MB RAM so it runs quite alright. The thing is that the processor runs on 100% every time I do anything.

Do you have any tips on what to do (of there is something) to make it less processor intensive? Other window manager than Gnome perhaps? Or should I even look for another linux distribution and what would that be?

I would need to be able to run Firefox, mail, OpenOffice and Audacity.
