Here is the break down of my little Frankenstein: Running Ubuntu 10.04
Kernel Linux 2.6.32-70-generic-pae
GNOME 2.30.2
Hardware: Memory 2.0 GiB
Processor 0: Intel (R) 4 CPU 3.20 GHz Processor 1: Intel (R) 4 CPU 3.20 GHz Available disk space 390.8 GiB
I thank you all for your help and suggestions and I have come to the conclusion that I am going to retire my R2 and build another Frankenstein I wonder which came first R2 or C-3? Doesn't matter as long as I learned something along the way.
Thank you all you have been a great help.
And as I said, LiveUSBs aren't all that hot either. You have to factor in the part where installing to the HDD and especially to an SSD will result in a dramatic speedup over a LiveUSB (which itself has a modest speedup over LiveCD).

I am confident your computer can support whichever current version of Ubuntu you like. The specs are good enough, and I am running Cinnamon-desktop (on Arch) smoothly, on a laptop with a far inferior processor.
