A configuração do seu sistema é mais que suficiente para rodar o Ubuntu. Sim, ele terá melhor desempenho do que o Windows XP. Embora eu sugira que você use o Ubuntu 12.04 LTS sobre a versão mais recente do Ubuntu, como 12.10 , 13.04 e 13.10 , porque:
- É um suporte de longo prazo e, portanto, tem suporte até abril de 2017.
- Possui o recurso de
Unity 2Dambiente de área de trabalho que requer menos recursos e que é removido após12.10. - Funciona melhor que a versão mais recente do Ubuntu no sistema de baixa configuração.
Estou usando o Ubuntu 12.04 LTS e a configuração do meu sistema é:

Eu uso o Ubuntu porque o requisito de sistema é baixo do que o XP e também desempenho melhor do que o XP. Espero que minha resposta te ajude ..
