Most of 3.9's noticable improvements are in the GUI/Workbench area. If you plan to use the system mostly for gaming, forget about 3.9 and get a decent game launcher and filemanager instead - the main drawback will be lack of support for bigger drives, but you will not need more than 2 GB of space anyway.

If you do have a slightly better CPU and want to have a pretty Workbench, use 3.9 or 3.1.4. The more colorful icons eat up more CPU ressources, and once you start prettyfying the whole thing, you'll want to add more patches and stuff which eats up even more CPU cycles.
