Hi,

Gnome is more than likely a little heavy for that box.
I suggest you re start your install - this time choose server instead of 
pressing enter after the Ubuntu logo comes up on the screen.

When done, log in and try

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

sudo apt-get install gdm

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

now for kicks reboot the box and see what happens

Regards,

Paul
