You are trying to install 64 bit software is all which your machine is not
accepting, you need to try the 32 bit install instead but I think you would
be better off with the more current 8.04 (Hardy) LTS rather than the now non
supported June 2006 version (dapper). Your hardware should have no real
problems with it, but I'd like more ram if it were me. BTW- , a 64 system
bit would like something more like 4 Gig of ram!
