The system requirements vary among Ubuntu products. For the main Ubuntu desktop product, the official Ubuntu Documentation recommends a 1 GHz Pentium 4 processor with 1 GB of RAM[44] and 5.9 gigabytes of hard drive space, or better.[45] For less powerful computers, there are other Ubuntu distributions such as Lubuntu and Xubuntu.

- 1 GB RAM (system memory)
- 5 GB of free hard drive space for installation
- 3D Acceleration Capable Videocard with at least 256 MB
According to your spec, your laptop can run Ubuntu.

It should be ok, the strict req is on OpenGL 1.4 and your card supports 2.0 (http://www.nvidia.com/object/go_7_series_techspecs.html) – Sylvain Pineau Apr 23 '14 at 10:49
