As others pointed out, going 64-bit is largely useless for the next 2-3 years. Plus by then, you will want a new laptop too.

I would recommend staying away from Pentium 4-powered laptops since:

1) they create a LOT of heat
2) they ensure LOW battery life

The laptop you are looking at does indeed come with the specs that Chris F posted. That processor is 32-bit. However, it will nearly double your battery life because of the SpeedStep technology (runs at half speed when laptop isn't plugged in the wall).

If you want to buy an Athlon64-based system, those will do a great job, too. However they will create much more heat and lower battery life. AMD's offerings are great, but they are still having problems with the heat dissipation.
