You might get by with Lite 3.x, but with those specs something like Puppy Linux might be better. Or maybe Lubuntu. But even there you would need older versions. Which gets into whether or not it's still supported.
I had to go back to Lite 3.8 when my video card died, and I was forced back onto on-board graphics. I researched and experimented, and found that I needed to use Ubuntu-16 based systems. However, most of them are no longer fully supported. Linux Lite is a pleasant exception, and the best thing for older systems. Unless you need something even lighter. I tried Bodhi, and it worked, but was just not intuitive enough for me. Puppy Linux is actually very impressive. I suggest you check it out.
Best of luck (and health!).
