You can go for the latest version 13.10 . It will work fine. Latest system requirements for 13.10 are

700 MHz processor (about Intel Celeron or better)
512 MiB RAM (system memory)
5 GB of hard-drive space
VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
Either a CD/DVD drive or a USB port for the installer media
(Internet access is helpful)

I would recommend you run Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, 32-bit. You have a slower hard drive, only 2GB RAM, and an older processor. You will also be limited by graphic processor performance.


LATER

With that as a benchmark, you can then see if a LiveCD trial of Ubuntu 13.10 64-bit is any improvement.
