Ubuntu is *not* meant for lower powered or older systems - It is one of the "heaviest" Linux-based OS's out there.
There are really so many Linux-based OS's out there made specifically to run on older hardware, and do a wonderful job where Ubuntu is *entirely* inappropriate for that task. Check http://distrowatch.com and peruse over the ones listed there (there is a sidebar on the right hand side of the site that "ranks" distros).
