That answers my question about age of PC. S3 Virge is ancient. You're not going to get a recent version of Ubuntu running well on that - Ubuntu requires more memory and CPU under each release just like other OSes.
If not convinced go have a look at http://phoronix.com and look at some of their benchmarking....
