I built a new PC with pretty much the same setup in 1996 (AMD 5x86-133 and an S3 Virge).  I later found the CPU could be safely overclocked to 160mhz - One way was by increasing the bus speed from 33mhz to 40mhz.

By the time I was using Windows 2000 though, I had upgraded - I don't recall exactly now, but I was using either my AMD K6-2 300mhz or K6-3 450mhz. I think the video card I had was a Matrox Millennium G200 at that time too, and a 3DFX Voodoo2.

I remember the 5x86-133 being plenty fast for Windows 95/98, but not sure how it would perform with Windows 2000.
