I think the quickest thing is you try it out yourself.
There will not be that many people having this vintage CPU.

Just for your reference, I have a 10 years old HP mini netbook with Atom N550 (1.5 GHz) + 2GB RAM. Zorin Lite (64 bit) works at a reasonable speed on it.

Other possibility of light weight Linux. LinuxLite can also run quite well on my HP mini (just testing at the moment). Not included in the list below, but MXLinux also runs well (tested while ago on the same machine).

Yes i agree with you.

Storage is 1tb 7200rpm ( bootleneck) slow disk.
The rest are built in on motherboard.

I dont like Mint (design and UI) works well but this design males me crazy.

If you use Zorin Lite, it should be more smooth and faster than Zorin Core.

But of course if you are happy with Mint, why not.
My sub-machine is running Mint Linux.

I think it is because GNOME desktop (Core) demands more RAM than XFCE (Lite). Some people managed to run Core on 4GB RAM but my personal recommendation is minimum 8GB for GNOME desktop.
