or maybe I'll fall back to the MSI-1036. The only thing it was lacking was the WUXGA.

and under $2000

Did I mention 64 bits is a bigger number, so it must be better.... Assuming my 17" machine is a dream, what can I do to find everything I want in a 15.4" machine..... with the same specs: WUXGA, 64-bit, and X300 or better...

I run database servers on my machines, so I would probably want to run the 64 bit versions when possible. I am also a programmer, so it would be nice to be able to use the 64 bit versions of upcoming products. I understand 64 bit...

If I could only tone down the graphics card or processor just a bit in that laptop it would be great.

It seems that I am looking for a mythical beast....

One other thing... must have at least X300 or better graphics ability. No onboard garbage.

Must be 17" 1920 X 1200 res. 64 bit under $2000 I've looked at Dell E1705 and MSI-1036, but they failed due to not being 64 bit or too low of resolution. Any help would be great. Thanks.
