Best Dell XP-PRO Notebook with HDMI & Firewire

I recently bought two Dell D-620s from Dell Refurb through eBay for less than $300 each. Great computers, great deal. But I need another one, with XP-PRO but it has to have HDMI and Firewire ports. Nothing fancy, no gaming needs, just a business and graphics machine.

Any suggestions? I'd love to find another one at Dell's eBay store.

I already have a like-new XPS M1530, and I went through the lengthy procedure to convert it from Vista to XP. (I got a lot of help from this forum during the process!) It never did work right, crashed a lot and some drivers just never were happy with XP, so I put the Vista Ultimate back on it and it's collecting dust.

I'd like to find one that Dell ships with XP_Pro installed.

the only line still shipping with Xp from Dell is the Buisness line of Vostro, and Precison.

check the Vostro lines they may have HDMI out

The Precisions do but they are more $$$

Thanks for the suggestions! I will keep on the lookout for a Vostro or Precision (the Precision Refurbs are WAY pricey!) For right now, I need the Firewire port so I'm wondering if there is such a thing as an adaptor to usb? That actually works?

there is most likely a PC Card or Express Card -> Firewire adaptors out there
