I'm positive if you can run Windows XP you can run Ubuntu. Just remember you may have to install some drivers because it is an older computer.Ubuntu is a Linux based operating system so there are differences between Windows ans Linux.

Yes you can install ubuntu
Ubuntu may be able to run all the hardware it is pretty good - if it doesn't I would thing it unlikely that unbuntu drivers have been specificaly written for this model machine

I`ve installed ubuntu on my spare Pc and it works real good.
Any drivers I needed, I downloaded them from this website, they have 1,0000`s of drivers for your PC.
