The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 12.10 is 768 MB of memory(RAM) ,

5 GB of HARD disk space for Ubuntu and Pentinum 4 processor

but for 12.10 you need highly graphic supported motherboad that may not support "ZXI945LM4".

so you can use external graphic card or use ubuntu 11.10 that can work.

The graphics card can really be an issue. Afaik it's a GMA 950 chip, which is not well supported by Linux. – soulsource Apr 03 '13 at 11:35

You can try.

Download it here, and follow these installation instructions. If you are currently using Windows, follow these instructions in order to create a bootable usb stick with the ubuntu image. Alternatively you could burn the image to a DVD. How?

Then choose "Try Ubuntu" in the dialog if you have booted from the DVD/ USB Drive.

If Ubuntu don't support your hardware, try Xubuntu / Lubuntu, the hardware requirements are less.
