Can I edit/manipulate the sound on a lame laptop?

I use Sony Sound Forge on Windows 7 to do the editing work after recording on a Sony PCM-D50 portable recorder.

I'm wondering if these kinds of sound manipulating softwares use internal arithmetic to edit .wav files? Does it make any differences whether I do this editing work in a studio with a professional sound card or just do it on my lame laptop with a terrible sound card?

Questions about groove/quantization (I need expert advice)

Can someone clear this up for me? I'm wondering about the theory and terminology regarding this. I understand if I record live I can get a good groove - it's not that I can't do it. That's not the purpose of my question. Like I said, I'm more interested in the actual terminology and theory...

New DAW. Anything I should be worried about?

I'm looking at a Dell Studio XPS 7100, Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit, AMD Phenom II X61045T Processor, ATI Raedon HD 5450 1GB Video Card, 6GB DDR3 RAM, and a 1 TB 7200RPM HD with a 16MB Cache. I plan on putting an M-Audio 1010LT in it. For software I'll be using Pro Tools (M-Powered) and Reaper.
