This day and age, 512mb is the minimum for a good experience.
If you can afford it, I say buy a new laptop with at least 1gb ram and a good processor. You don't game or do any media editting so you don't need to worry about having a speedy processor or a great graphics card.
Watch out though if you get vista. Although it's supposed to be better, I find that XP is much better.
OR if you wanted a great all in one solution. Get a Macbook. You can install windows on Macs now :)
