you can usually try a live version of the distro your aiming for to see how it behaves on your hardware

that's good for testing if a device will work or not, but it's terrible for judging how the OS *performs*. Mostly because your DVD/USB is going to be a serious bottleneck for I/O. Combine that with the 4GB of RAM and you've got some potentially crunchy performance ahead of you, which would not be indicative of the install performance.
