Any suggestions guys?
It depends how fast the processor is.
I installed ubuntu on my classmates laptop with 1.6GHz Intel Pentium & 512 RAM and it runs with visual effects as fine as windows xp...

But if ubuntu (GNOME desktop) runs slow, you can try Xubuntu - XFCE is a bit lighter desktop environment than GNOME.
