Looking at it again, I could well have read it wrong. Thanks.
I did a web search for that machine's specs and could not find clear information about the RAM. I just redid the search and found one link indicating that it might have been a 512MB machine out of the box, which is still awfully light on RAM for a contemporary Linux desktop distro.

OP, please clarify how much RAM that thing has.
It has 1 stick DDR2 512mb and second stick 1024 mb ram..in sum 1.5GB ram
