Check the sys reqs on the apps that don't run: you may have too little RAM, or too old a version of OS X.

Plus click on the apple in the corner then click about this Mac so we know the Proc speed and how much ram you have.

I have a iMac G3 350Mhz w/ 192 Mb ram and it runs os 10.3 and will handle iChat and P2P.
It's not like he asking if he can run CS2 or anything.

OS X will run as fast as anything else on that computer.

I'm recommending you repair permissions, something is wrong, 10.2.8 will have no problem running apps like that.
If all else fails, reinstall, w/ older machines like that you'll probably notice a decent speed boost just getting rid of stuff, especially if it's tunning its original install.
