Hi :) Machines of that low spec have trouble with Windows Xp too. A fresh reinstall of Windows just about works for maybe a year. Generally with that age of machine it's a case of frequent defrags and stick to old versions of programs such as MS Office.
Ubuntu is not the lightest distro. It is made to compete with Win7/8 rather than Win98. If you want something lighter and faster then go for a distro that requires much lower specs. For example Xubuntu or Lubuntu or pretty much anything else.
