I assume you want to compare with the Unity desktop? Changing to Gnome Classic will improve it a little. If you want to have a lightweight desktop environment, I suggest trying Xfce (http://www.xfce.org/). This is the default desktop environment for the Xubuntu releases.

You can install it on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with:

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

for Ubuntu branding or

the original Xfce desktop:

sudo apt-get install xfce4

Probably yes. But CPU and RAM has nothing to do with it. Unity is expecting 3D to work very good, and I suppose you have some video card without supported 3D. Anyway, instead of Gnome you should better step forward and try Xfce. You will have more features for less resources, without compositing window manager. Consider this.

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

then you will probably find something interesting in compiz, like Static Application Switcher, if needed:

sudo apt-get install ccsm

sudo apt-get install compiz-plugins-extra

ccsm
