I would think that should work, I'm running it on a 700MHz notebook with 384 MB of Ram, but ... What video card does it have, and what sound card? Maybe Ubuntu doesn't like playing with one of these.

It's an ATI Rage Mobility 4, and after looking around I've seen quite a few issues discussing ATI cards.
