Who Here Knows A Lot About Laptop Hardware? - The Orange Mane

OK, so I'm about to get a new laptop.

Basically, what should I look for in terms of RAM and GHz in a Processor?

All I use my laptop for is the following:
school work (word, excel, powerpoint)
partypoker
AIM
FireFox
winamp
utorrent/downloading music

Sometimes I do all at once, and I'd like it so it doesn't lag. What do I need? I figure I need 1GB of RAM, since I have 512 now and it lags. But uh, what's good for a processor?

I don't do online gaming like WoW or anything, and I don't watch movies, just the occasional highlight or youtube clip.
