When you say "lag" what do you mean? "Lag" is a very generic word and can mean a lot of different things in the context of streaming.

That's most likely the issue. OBS uses the GPU for accelerated compositing and capturing, and your GPU is really old. This is undoubtedly the cause. Your system just needs an upgrade.

In the meantime, you might be able to stream at a super low resolution and quality. Downscale to ~360p, change frame rate to 25fps, and change your x264 preset to ultrafast. Then you might be able to stream something...but it probably won't look great.
