You can start Ubuntu as a live cd. Or install as Dual Boot.
I think it makes no sense to pay for new hardware for such old pcs.

as I thought then. Thanks
It detects only 1gb of ram but i have 2, maybe it stopped working or VM doesn't detect it or slot is broken again. Gonna try to fix it.

replaced ram slots and seems to work again, 2gb of RAM
Yup, virtualbox runs without any problems, so I can install ubuntu.
Thanks guys, thread can be removed
