The requirements for Unity are HERE.

Also HERE you have a list of hardware requirements for the Ubuntu 10.04, not much should change 12.04.

You will need a supported graphics card.

Take a look at this list

You can find a listing of graphics cards by vendor, and if 3d is supported in Ubuntu as of 11.10.

I would personally use the information to find a old (but not ancient) ATI or Nvidia card for cheap.
