Indeed Inkscape's minimum CPU is Sempron 140 @ 2.7Ghz, from there it should run well. my current PC is Athlon II 245 so there's plenty enough of performance for my character designs. i'm still waiting for the next version which is supposed to use GPU acceleration so that inkscape should run much faster.
for your config, you should try Xara Designer for windows. the trial is 30 days afaik, it's got the same UI layout as Inkscape, only much more streamlined and cleaner and it's the fastest vector graphics software around. it flies even on a single core sempron 140! ironically the linux version is free!

I've ended up using adobe illustrator if I need to do a quick lineart, anyway still I'll use PaintToolSAI mainly because it's very lightweight and easy to use if I need to do an accurate lineart, illustrator's live trace function only works on clean linearts. Both runs smoothly on my old 2.26Ghz P4, 1.5gb ram ddr400 as long as I don't reach resolutions of 10k pixels or more
managed to do a decent sketch of Cray:

It looks good I think the body proportions are fine, most of the time I draw at night too. I find it hard to draw when it's too hot during the afternoon because of summer.
I'm planning of making a wallpaper next. Gonna have to draw a new one and in landscape mode 
edit:
finished this yesterday:

lol, were they too large?  
No name yet, can't think of a name, naming is the hardest part actually
This is my work in progress, will try to make a wallpaper out of it using PaintToolSAI and Photoshop:

The last picture looks like it's inspired by angel beats! a cross between Yuri (using pistols) and Kanade (angel wings)
I find it hard to draw when it's too hot during the afternoon because of summer.
Very true, this is the ultimate reason for me to avoid drawing during daytime, it sucks living on a temperate weather at times i can't understand how i sweat despite only moving my hands and concentrating!

Yeah, it's kind of like angel beats! Actually the wings was a random decision. Thought it'll look cool and at least I can fill the paper with lots of lines
Haven't really continued sketching, been busy these past days, but I'll continue drawing this maybe later or tomorrow, got hooked on playing Legend of Heroes Trails in The Sky on PSP.

@ceaser
Used PaintToolSAI mostly for the base colors and shadows, used different shades of blue, I used black with opacity toned down to 40% for the shadows. Photoshop for the glow like effects
@razec
I was quite satisfied with how it came out, but after looking at some more digital artworks done by others on deviantart I felt like I have to do better.
I'm actually running out of free time , classes are about to start this June again, I don't think I'll have free time next summer, gonna be busy with OJT.
