Processor that can play 720p video?

Look for one with a newer GPU that fully supports h264/VC-1 hardware decoding, for example nvidia 2xxM series or similar.

Half the Ram, btw. above link is for XP, and u know Vista/win7 eat more memory.

Yes and no. While win 7 at the basic level isn't as big of a memory hog as Vista, the application dwm.exe which is used to power the desktop effects and such, sometimes goes haywire and does random memory leaks. However, I believe this was fixed in an update. So it's a null argument.
Yet again on another hand, a newer OS (ie: Win 7) that has to deal with an integrated instead of dedicated card will have more issues in the ram area than XP. Mainly due to the fact that Win7 is more willing to dedicate more ram towards the video card than XP will. As long as you're not running only 1 GB ram, you're fine. But seriously. Ram is literally a 30 dollar upgrade to MAX OUT. Upgrade that shit if you find ram isn't enough.
Gamerzhell:
An Atom CPU should be able to play 720p flawlessly using CoreAVC.
better yet, you could consider getting an Nvidia ION based netbook (slightly less battery but you can play 1080p no hassles)

720p isn't set in stone. Just because you're able to play one 720p video doesn't mean it goes for all. Softsubs play a big role, too. And softsubbed karaoke, though most people hardsub it so the effects don't kill your CPU. Plus:

A better measure is bitrate, and this varies wildly depending on the intensity of the scene.
