4 GB is ample, so long as you don't use the Gnome desktop supplied by Debian or Ubuntu. This desktop computer has 4 GB and every so often I check — I've never caught it using more than 2 GB!
"Socket 775" is a bit vague — one really needs to know the exact CPU. But I'd suggest a distro intended for "middle-aged" computers, like MX Linux. On the other hand, since you say you've got a 64-bit processor, Linux Mint (Mate version) might be fine.
