Linux variants might be your best bet, but this old dinosaur is not worth keeping given the simple lack of computing power. Sadly your choices for a new laptop are limited to Windows 8..a pathetic OS or going to a Mac. If you are just using your old laptop for web surfing, e-mailing, Skype and Facebook, I would consider getting a tablet instead of a new laptop. Tablets will not really work well for more heavy uses like Word or spreadsheets, but if you are not doing those types of things look at tablet. I-pads are pricey but work well however Android based tablets are less expensive and likely would give you everything you need
