You can get a great Alianware (i know that is not spelt right) laptop for around $2500 and it will have at least a 64 MB card and a P4 2.0 or above, however that is just for the regular P4 and not the P4-M, the M will be a lot better on your battary life but if you want the power and proformce without spending over $3000 you will have to go with the normal P4 plus the P4-M doesn't have as high of speeds as of yet.

P4-M 2.4GHz
512MB DDR333
60GB HDD
DVD/CDRW combo Drive
ATI Radeon M9P Graphics 64MB DDR
16.1" Screen !
56K Modem
10/100Lan
Built in Wireless Antenna
Windows XP Home Edition
4 USB 2.0
Firewire

Im going to Guess around 3000-3100$ Canadian.
I almost sold this laptop with a 3.06GHz P4 to someone, but it turns out, they havent tested them that high, and recommend the P4-M. They are also customizeable, so if you want a slower processor, more ram, bigger hard drive, they can be changed.

Alienware rocks though. . . If youve got the extra money, get one. I do beleive Justin is quoting US pricing. If you have any questions, let me know.

Did you check out www.dell.com Dell Inspiron 8500 looks like a nice computer,
make sure you get a processor @ 2.4 Ghz and a videocard @ 64 Mb Memory.
It's cusomizable so you can make it as expensive as you want.
