It's not just the processor, you'll be using slow ram, slow HDD, slow everything else.  In the end, it'll be very likely much slower than your Atom netbook.

Also, don't know why, but all the library's P4s are retardedly slow (like REALLY retardedly slow), even though they should theoretically be much much faster, judging by the specs (I'm comparing to my old 1.6GHz Sempron and my brother's Atom, both of which feel like i7s vs their P4s).

10yrs old... Isn't that like before DDR?  You'll probably be using old SDRAM.  And you need 4 slots for that setup, no motherboard back then gave 4 slots.
