Notebook w/ dedicated 3D accelerator, >15" screen, 2+ hour battery for <$1000?

Thread Starter 
I'm looking for a notebook with these criteria:
  • Dedicated 3D Accelerator (doesn't use shared memory, at least 64mb, preferably nVidia or ATI)
  • At least a 15" screen (regular or widescreen, doesn't matter)
  • 2+ Hour battery life (more is better)
  • Less than $1000 (or more appropriately "around $1000 or less")

Anyone have any ideas? I'm flexible on all other specs.

The best fit I can think of is the Acer Travelmate 4402, it's $1069 at www.zipzoomfly.com. The 4402 has 15.4" LCD, 1.6 ghz Turion, 512 megs of ram, X700 GPU with 64 megs of ram, 100 Gig HD, DL DVD-RW. I belive that battery life is around 3 hours as well.

That looks hot. I think I'm gonna go with the one that's only $50 more for an added 512mb of RAM and an extra 20gb of hard drive space. Thanks for the tip.

Your welcome and the 4404 also gets an extra 200 mhz on the CPU, so it's a nice upgrade I mentioned the 4402 because it's as close as possible to your price constraint.
