 I remember Ami Pro being quite reasonable on a similar
spec desktop machine,
but my copy went to tape years ago and around half of the old tapes of mine
that I found recently are no longer readable :-( 

Suggestions of alternative software welcome though... 
XyWrite comes to mind: low resource requirements, yet oodles of formatting
options.  

It takes a bit of time and practice to build up some speedy chops, so it
may not be the panacea you're looking for.  I do know, however, that
XyWrite's format can be successfully converted into (many of) today's
common word processing formats.
