The 32-bit version - and using the same cpu as your son has (3200+)

Don't let kde4 worry you. You'll get used to it in minutes.

The only thing is *not* to Enable all the desktop effects and save lots
of cpu cycles in not running all the eye-candy.

Also, download and compile the nVidia driver from nVidia. Makes a BIG

only gave me ~136fps (using glxgears), the compiled driver (190.42)
gives me ~3660fps.
