Actually, according to this:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/27234/intel-core-duo-processor-t2300e-2m-cache-1-66-ghz-667-mhz-fsb.html" rel="noreferrer noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/27234/intel-core-duo-processor-t2300e-2m-cache-1-66-ghz-667-mhz-fsb.html</a><br>
<br>
That's a 32 bit CPU so RAM might not be your only problem. Solus doesn't<br>
appear to support 32 bit x86. You might try BunsenLabs, but again you're<br>
still short on RAM.<br>
<br>
A quick Google brought up this article which may have you choose a<br>
distro if you can't get Solus running:<br>
