For your typical MMO (WoW) included, you can't even get to your raid, 
dungeon, farm location in the time it would take to ride the bus or 
enjoy your lunch. Unfortunately, very few MMOs are designed to tolerate 
play in small time slices.

Maybe you could run a mission or two in CoX, but that's about it.

If you really want to play an online game on a computer like that, 
you're honestly better off playing one of the commercial MUDs out there. 
They don't need a graphics card (which that PC lacks) or a lot of ram.

Plus, since that PC comes with Linux (and they seem to imply it can't 
run windows) you are ready to roll for connection to a MUD.
