The system requirements for Illustrator CS2 on Windows are as follows:

Intel Pentium III or 4 processor or equivalent
Microsoft Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 or 4, or Windows XP with Service Pack 1 or 2
256MB of RAM (512MB recommended)
820MB of available hard-disk space
Color monitor with 16-bit video card
1,024x768 monitor resolution
CD-ROM drive
For Adobe PostScript printers: PostScript Level 2 or PostScript 3
Internet or phone connection required for product activation
Broadband Internet connection required for Adobe Stock Photos.

Although it says 256Mb RAM is the minimum requirement, I suspect that in practice you'll need more memory than that for any sort of reasonable performance. I'd also agree with Jolt - the more free space you have on your C drive, the better your whole system will perform. You don't say what the total size of your C drive is, but generally speaking if you have less than 10%-20% free, your system performance will suffer.
