What OS should i put on my 10 year old laptop?

I have a Compaq Presario 700US with 80GB HDD, one 128MB non removable ram and one 256MB stick of RAM. A AMD Duron 900MHz chip CD/DVD reader. It has performance xp on it now and if left runing too long it likes to lock up when i installed Ubuntu that didn't seem to happen. Maybe put win 95 or 98se. Everyone just give me your opinions on what to do with this laptop. I restored it.
