I really gotta get a new laptop, something that actually has enough memory to move.

Actually, Linux can work quite well on (relatively) slow machines. While it really depends on the hardware configuration of the laptop (some devices might have varrying degrees of support, depending on which kernel you decide to install), Linux can be loaded on practically any x86 system.
One of the drawing points about Linux, as opposed to Windows, is that it can be installed on old(er) machines, and still work perfectly well. I wonder if anyone's tried to install Windows XP on a Pentium 133 (notice that there is no sequel suffix on the word "Pentium"), with 16MB of RAM...
