There's no need to be an expert to answer your question,

Get a dxdiag of that machine so we can look into the specs. You're missing the GPU from that specs list.

To run a dxdiag report follow the steps below:

• If you are running Windows XP or higher go to your task bar.
• Click on, "Start Button."
• Click on, "Run" or "Search programs and files."
• In the pop-up window enter "dxdiag" and hit OK or the ENTER key.
• The DirectX Diagnostic Tool pop-up window should appear.
• Click on, "Save all information."
• Copy and paste that info here.

I'm not expecting much, granted it only has 2GB of RAM and you mentioned "IDE" in its specs; this PC sounds like it may be an artifact.
