Gnome really isn't intended for those systems anyway. Gnome-shell requires a reasonable 3d-capable video card to run well. I have a bunch of old P4 computers in a school for students to use. I set them up with Mate which works great there.
I find this just crazy. Why should just the desktop interface require a beefy graphics card? I use Mate because of that silliness.
If I was doing fancy graphics in the programs that I use, then I'd consider spending an outrageous amount of money on the graphics card. But not just for the sake of the desktop interface.
