Okay I'm running Mint 11, so it might be slightly different output to 
Ubuntu (I haven't fired up my media PC and my server is running Ubuntu 
Server 64-Bit), but hope this helps:

rob at aspire ~ $ uname -a
Linux aspire 2.6.38-11-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 12 22:21:04 
UTC 2011 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

(It's running on a Core 2 Duo with 4GB Ram)
