Please advise what OS is best to put on a machine made from old parts, to be used for gaming, web browsing and watching videos. Specs:

Duo E6300 (oc'd to 2.8 ghz)
1gb ddr2 667
Radeon 1950pro

As you can see its not going to be great for gaming. I've put my spare copy of Windows XP on my gf's laptop & am putting together the above to mess about with. I was thinking of playing some of my old steam games on it now Steam appears to be on Linux.

Please note I am a real Linux noob, I ran Ubuntu on my own netbook for 4 years & recently changed to Mint because it became unstable, I stopped doing updates due to running out of storage space. I can install the OS but have no idea what I'm doing in a terminal window.

Thanks :)
