I'm going to summarize it like this. Should you want to install the latest Ubuntu or at least use it, it would be best to install it than to run it off of the LiveCD. Failure to do this in you're case probably would yeild unacceptable performance and maybe even stability issues. Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to upgrade the amount of available RAM in the machine.
