It`s strange that when i boot from live CD all seems fine, allthough i think you maybe right, might give Mint or PClinux a bash.
Everything else seems fine just this screen flicker problem, if i set it to a lower resolution it does work better but then i lose half the screen 
I`ve tried to locate a driver and install but it says no proprietary installed.
XP worked fine on it but i suppose that`s because most stuff is designed for Microsoft  |
If you were to go purely on the
recommended minimum requirements then you actually have more than enough but personally i would still go with something a little lighter.
You wont find any propriety driver in the Hardware Drivers Manager but the
driver should already be installed.
Like admars has suggested though possibly something using lxde or similar would be far better. Mint & PCLinuxOS are probably as heavy as Ubuntu, if not more so.
I`m still using the Lubuntu-desktop package atop the mini-iso on my own old laptop.......although not quite as old as those mentioned with 1.73Ghz & 512MB...and although i was only having a wee look at the time i`ve just never got back round to changing it back. In fact i cant even remember exactly what pic n mix i had on there before.
