I'm afraid not.  Here's how that GPU stacks up against several cards that are commonly used for Second Life:

If you're going to use an AMD/ATI card, it has to be at least

4000 Series:

• 4850, 4870, 4890

5000 Series:

• 5850, 5870, 5970

for reasonable performance.  If you DO manage to log in, expect to set your viewer for LOW graphics quality.

Actually those recommendations on the System Requirements are out of date.  Those graphic cards are no longer made by AMD/ATI.  Of the ones they make now the AMD R5, R7 and R9 series work with SL.  I use the R9 270x and can run ultra high graphics np. My partner has an R7 and can run ultra high too but says he gets less lag with high level graphics.  I don't know how the R5 performs, but it does have the right tech.

The AMD 7700 series will work too, but you won't get the same level of graphics as the R series.

Also, get the Project Benchmark Viewer version 3.7.17.294710. This new viewer does not use a list of video cards. Instead it test the video card to see if it will work. You may have betterluck with it. If not, at least you'll know it is a defficency in your card and not the GPU list in the viewer.

Al the above advise is spot on but to ask a larger question: You seem to have installed Windows 8 on a very old PC. Could you please amend your post to give the additional information?
