I am confused, the HP d325 usually comes with an AMD athalon64 bit processor built as a business desktop it falls short in the RAM department, coming with anything from 500mb to 2 Gb ram as standard [from memory the MB will take up to 4 gb in 2x2Gb sticks]i386 compatible cpu
With those specs this would be my choice.
Q4OS - desktop operating system
q4os.org
Have a look under installation media at system requirements.
Trinity desktop - 300MHz CPU / 256MB RAM / 3GB disk
Q4OS - desktop operating system

I suggest using the Trinity DE as you can see the system hardware requirements are quite low.
Top 15 Linux Distros That Still Support 32 Bit Systems
If you have vintage hardware with 32-bit processor and you would like to keep on using it, here are the best choices of Linux distros with 32-bit support.itsfoss.com

most amdx86 grade processors from this era are I386 backwards compatible
Yep as I thought that should be 64 bit if you increase the ram to 2gb you should be able to run most distributions, as a start I would try a "live" run of Linux Mint but with the lighter weight XFCE desktop.It won't run at full speed with the amount of ram you have, but it will confirm [or not] that it can run a full installation.i corrected my pc specifications; please check again
Instead of shouting your obvious dislike of Ubuntu based distributions, why do you not read the previous post first, and understand what we are trying to achieve@ascampli -- do as the Mint fanbois say or use antiX without having to add hardware. Your choice.
I don't recommend Slackware for users that are new to Linux.Or one can always go Slackware 32bit. It and antiX will almost always work on older limited-resource machines that the popular distros run like molasses on.
The P4 was the equivalent of the AMD K5, you have an AMD Athlon 7th series AMD CPU as I said before it is a 64 bit processor refer back to my post #9Pentium 4
