text: some questions about laptops? when it comes to processor speed, memory size, and capacity, what are the minimal specifications that you will accept?  i'm on a budget of about $600 and what i'm thinking is i want at least 30 or 40 gb capacity and 256-512 mb memory.  i'm not sure about ghz because i'm not clear on what's good and what's not.  can you give me some good numbers that i should look for when it comes to these 3 specifications?  thank you. i wouldn't go any lower than 1.5 ghz, 512 mb of ram and 20 gb hard drive.
