Two things you should absolutely avoid:
- 4200 rpm hard drives (they suck, it's so fucking slow I replaced mine with the new 7200RPM Hitachi 2"5 drive, which is unfortunately not yet integrated in laptops)
- Nvidia Turbo Cache (TC) or ATI Hypermemory graphic cards as they don't have their own RAM memory
As for your needs I'd recommend an Intel Core duo processor (around 1.8ghz), with 1gig of RAM, a 100gig 5400 RPM HDD and at least an ATI X1600 or a NVIDIA 7600 as a video card.
Regarding Alienware they're purely for gamers and quite expensive in my opinion.
