Need Help Finding A Good Distro For A Super Laptop

So I have a really old Lenovo Thinkpad T61 and its specs are :

  • Intel Core 2 Duo processor
  • NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M / Intel graphics (idk fs but one of them)
  • 2Gb DDR2 RAM
  • SATA hard drive

I am using windows 7 on it rn and its basically super slow and i cant even use it for basic web browsing, i would like to know if using linux will help make it faster , if yes which distro do i use ? Btw it has a cd reader and writer, it wld be nice if the distro supported it as well.
