I am using a ASUS A4K Its a AMD64 3400+ and ATI 9700 (Which benchmarks almost exactly the same as the newer ATI X600 ) Its a good price as well. They are on the ASUS web site. ASUS are quite a reputable brand. I used to run 5 stable/release on it with little problems (Need to disable ACPI ) but I am now running 6 Stable and its running great. In terms of CPU power these laptops are a lot faster then what you can get from a Intel based Dell laptop (I have done the benchmarks on both in FreeBSD) Also note that ASUS are about to launch a new line of AMD64 Turion notebooks *Asus A6K - A6000K And **Asus A6U - A6700K* Although they don't look like there a great deal better, although a Turion CPU would be nice. http://www.amdboard.com/turion_64_notebook.html Regards, Mike Carlos Andrade wrote: >who makes good AMD64 laptops besides say Compaq?
