I know it does run faster than Windows ever did on it!
I don't think its quite that bad, but according to the Ubuntu website you need a minimum of 384MB of RAM for 32 bit and 512 for 64 bit, compare that to the 1GB for 32 bit and 2GB for 64 bit on Windows 7.

In addition Ubuntu works out the box (you may need to download some proprietory drivers, I have only seen my graphics card) as I say Linux trumps Windows in every way except compatibility because alot of developers refuse to program for Linux, if that changed so many more people would use it.
