Well, I would not go with 2008 given the specs you listed. 2003 would be better suited for this; though I would try to double the amount of memory installed. the system will work, but it all depends on the software you have installed that users will access. If it is a sql setup, then your system will run very slow, almost to the point of not being worth it.
My recommendation is to forget this system and find another that is more powerful. You will thank yourself later for it.
