In that case stop wasting your time with CentOS 7 i386 and install the
native x86_64 version of CentOS 7.  This will give you access to all the
3rd party repos you'll want as well, such as epel and nux.

also, try and scrounge another DDR2 SODIMM for that thing, according to my google search, it supports up to 2 x 4GB == 8GB, and you said you only have the stock 2GB. 4GB will be way better performance with a GUI, 8GB would be even better. you still have a really slow CPU and if its still got the original 5400RPM HD, a really slow HD, but don't make it triple-suffer from not enough ram. (a SSD replacing the SATA HD would make it actually pleasant to use)
