Minimum system requirements will not be known until summer 2006 at the earliest. However, these guidelines provide useful estimates:
512 megabytes (MB) or more of RAM
A dedicated graphics card with DirectX® 9.0 support
A modern, Intel Pentium- or AMD Athlon-based PC.

The OS codename Longhorn (release name Vista) spec requirements are listed here

microsoft.com/technet/windowsvista

Your graphics look a bit suspect, might pay to look at a dedicated graphics card and turn off the onboard.
