I have several dual processor 3ghz Pentium D Dell 620 systems with at least 2gb of memory. I want to move them off XP and do not want to go to Win7. Am I limited to 13.04 or can I go to a later release.

As a test, I've run Ubuntu, Lubuntu, and a whole bunch of other distos on hardware such as what you're describing. Your RAM is a little low but it should run fine - albeit not as fast as it would on more robust hardware. You may want to give Lubuntu a try as it is lighter on resources though the rest will run but not as speedy in my experience.
You can get Lubuntu here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/GetLubuntu
You can read about Lubuntu here: http://lubuntu.net/
You can download 15.04 here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/15.04/release/
You can wait a little bit (by the end of this month) and 15.10 should be released or you can find a beta version, which I'm not recommending but listing for completeness, here: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/current/
