If it has a CD/DVD drive, or USB booting, it should work, depending on how much ram you have, why not give it a go with the live system. :)

Hi zadek.

RAM is also known as Memory. Since you have 1500+ of Memory, I would think that Refracta should perform reasonably well for you. However, you might want to wait until someone else verifies it too. :)

I am a old man and my knowledge about computer tech is very small;but I am,just like you a fighter for information freedom.
Thanks again,

Refracta was made on a computer of similar age to yours. Mine is a 3800+. In fact, the first home for this cpu was an ASUS M2V motherboard (may it rest in peace.)
Code:
cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor   : 0
vendor_id   : AuthenticAMD
cpu family   : 15
model      : 75
model name   : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
