Respected Sir / Madam,
Sir, I am using lenovo laptop having processor Intel (R) Pentium (R) CPU B940 @ 2.00GHz 2.00 GHz, Installed memory (RAM)  is : 2.00 GB, System Type : 64- bit operating system, Operating System : windows 7 home basic. So sir/madam what miner would be available for my platform. Actually I have downloaded easyminer mining software before reading the option for bitcoin forms for information about miners. So should I carry on with easy miner mining software or for this platform some other miner are available.Please mail me with which mining software should I go.

CPU/GPU (regular computer) mining is dead for most.  Just is not efficient.  It takes asics to compete in the competitive field of mining.

I highly suggest reading about some of the miners out there.

Adding onto what notlist3d said, even if you were to purchase ASICs now, unless you have free power, chances are you won't reach a full ROI. You might be better off just investing into straight bitcoin, or other currencies you think might do well in the future.

You need and ASIC to mine.. try Kijiji.  I see 400 Khash scrypt miners on for $40 with PS, 10W power draw, perfect for the super casual miner.
