Do you have a second cd drive? Could you try it with the second one if you do?

The CD might be bad. You could always contact Canonical and request another if it is. Or you could download and burn one yourself from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download

The minimum requirements for regular Ubuntu are 512 MB of RAM. Even if you could boot it, it would not be wise to install Ubuntu on a machine with such low specs. You have a few options:

1) Upgrade your RAM
2) Check out the more lightweight forks of Ubuntu. Xubuntu and Lubuntu are probably the best (I like Xubuntu). Here are some links:

http://lubuntu.net/

Can you help with this problem?
