Ubuntu will not normally work on this old computer either way.

Try to install Lubuntu 14.04

Read this regarding PAE

You can't enable PAE, if your CPU does not support it.

The non-PAE npae124-text-9w lets you install the non-PAE kernel and the desktop environment you want: Xubuntu Desktop - Xfce (that I suggest), Lubuntu Desktop - Lxd.

Download npae124-text-9w from: Here

Burn it to a CD or USB drive.

Boot your computer from the the npae124-text-9wiso and select Install at the prompt. You can then follow the instructions.

After booting into this installed Ubuntu mini system with a text interface, if you wish, install a desktop environment.
