You should be fine. My server is also P3-600MHz, but only 384MB RAM, and utilisation is not a big problem. I frequently use Softsqueeze (when I'm listening in the room where the server is) which is much more of a hog than an MP3 transcoder, at the same time as someone else streaming FLAC to one of the SBs, and have no performance issues doing that. Of course, it is possible to overload the machine - slimserver, softsqueeze, plus a full scan, plus a rip/encode, plus other stuff ... will cause issues. But you have a little more memory than me which is always good.
