Thats a 20 year old computer. It likely uses a bunch of really obsolete stuff like AGP video.
Personally, I wouldn't even try, C7 32 bit is something of a bastard child in that RHEL 7 is 64 bit only, and there's very little usage or testing on the centos-only 32 bit version.

I tried that on a Dell Intel(R) Celeron(R) CPU 2.10GHz, and the performance was unusable. Then, I tried Lubuntu 32 (a streamlined Ubuntu distro) and got very acceptable performance.

It will likely install .. but if less than 1GB of RAM, it would also likely be a terrible experience for anything except a non gui based install.

Hi Johnny ,
On this machine I run Centos 6 with 1 Gb (is the maximum) RAM memory installed and believe it or not Centos runs fine with an acceptable responstime.
But when trying to do a fresh install or a netinstall (both Centos 7) I get the following message :
[ 0.123604] ACPI:SCI(ACPI GSI 9) not registered [28.595238] systemd[1] Caught <ILL> , dump core as pid 75 [28.595814] systemd[1] : Freezing execution.
Question : What now ?
Regards ,

And please report back if it's the solution so others may know it too.

Here's an alternative if CentOS performance is not satisfactory on that computer.
I believe Elive [0] was created for exactly your aged computer.When you visit [1] below, take a look at the section titled "*Fast Dinosaurs!*" where they have a few YouTube videos showing old computers running Elive. One video in particular: "*Pentium-II, 266 Mhz, 64 MB of RAM, 12GB HD Toshiba 4080xcdt -- Running Elive!*"
It took about 3 minutes to get to the GUI. However, the point here is that /*if*/ Elive runs on a Pentium-II @ 266Mhz, it ought to run quite well on a Pentium-III @ +860Mhz.
