To put it in perspective, the specs I recommended are basically on par with our desktops. Our desktops have 512 MB RAM memory, which you can probably get for a decent price with your laptop, and more hard drive space, which is always a bonus but not necessary for performance. Especially when you have a CD/DVD burner to store extra stuff.
Our desktops are capable of playing the latest games, graphics manipulation, web surfing, and everything else that we normally do with our computers - which, considering that you are (so far) not that into games, is probably a bit more intensive than what you will need to do. Even if you do get hooked on games, it shouldn't be a hinderance to use the laptop.
