GTA IV apparently runs on Euphoria engine. Now other games that run that same engine and the most recent I can think of Crysis which needs
CPU: Intel P4 2Ghz or AMD equivalent (3GHz dual core reccomended)
RAM: 512MB (1 GB rec)
Video Card: 256mb
HDD Space: 16GB
OS: Microsoft Windows
Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c Compatible
I would guess that you would need a really good graphics card but at least a 256mb, at least 2gig ram and about 20gig hdd. Obviously as all games its made for windows and I dont know how easy it would be to run it in Wine in Ubuntu.
SO.. It would be safe to say that the above stats would be required by to play the game.
As soon as we find the real requirements from Rockstar we will post them here.
UPDATE:
Please not this is only a guess if we look at current games. As soon as Rockstar realeases the official stats we will post them. But you could use these, if so do that at your own risk.

You already have the ability to pimp out Crysis with great mods like Mster Config. One mod currently in the works is a texture upgrade from Rygel. Rygel who is famous for his Quake and Doom textures. Mster Config with Rygel’s texture mod is a very powerful way to tune the graphics in Crysis.
Here are a few screen shots of what is to come from this excellent combo
I cannot wait for the finished release. For more images you can visit PCGH. They have the other 10 images.
