onboard graphics have always been terrible and always will be terrible

only thing you can do is turn down some of the sliders, fog & fire etc are good ones to start with

You have a really weak CPU; a Celeron isn't exactly going to do much better.
As @~kt suggested lower some of the video options, maybe even drop the resolution.
It'll never maintain a stable 60FPS, but 45FPS on average with some dips should be doable.

This is one mistake many people make when it comes to the "recommended requirements" for a game. What that mainly means is the requirements to run the game smoothly on its default settings not what it needs to run the game with maxed out settings or some maxed out settings.

The more settings you turn up the more your GPU and CPU will have to work to run it.

Yeah, that's right. Best thing you can do is go to 'Performance' settings and turn 'Max Bystander Population' down and increase the 'Max Fog Visibility' for one

I honestly don't see how even a stock computer that can be like 5 years old can't handle running a game that's a little over 16 years old.

I remember when the Postal movie came out on DVD back in 2008 I bought it solely because it came with a copy of Postal 2 and I always wanted to play it. At that time I had a crappy Emachine PC I bought from Wal-Mart and it could handle the game perfectly.

Because the steam version is an upgraded and modernized version. It's not the same game that came out a billion years ago, but you can play it through the steam betas, or by getting an OG version.

The game didn't even run well back when it was new on top shelf hardware, because it was incredibly unoptimized, and had stupidly long load times between areas. It wasn't until the 1337 patch that postal 2 actually became playable for real, then they built upon that with share the pain and the fudge pack, both of which required more powerful hardware, same with apocalypse weekend.

OP's computer, while not as ancient as the game itself, is also vastly less powerful than my old pentium 4 I played the game on when it first released, and he has the worst possible integrated graphics solution you could possibly get (intel atom based). Just because your hardware's newer, doesn't mean it's better.
