Andy, you should run lshw to get a good hardware overview, i.e. check out your motherboard and graphics chipset. Run as root
sudo lshw
I think it comes standard on Ubuntu, but if not it is a small download and in normal repositories.
There's a graphical hardware information program as well, but accessibility is a bit confusing in the beginning and can be a bit sluggish at times as well. It's really nice though and runs some benchmarks. Hardinf or hardinfo I think It's called. 
I wouldn't be with out these programs, and having them on a usb Linux makes diagnosing and hopefully fixing other ppl's boxes a heck of a lot easier.
Regards,
