I want a laptop, 17"inch screen, 1gb ram, at least 60gb hdd 7200rpm, AMD Athlon 64Bit 3400+ w/ 1MB & PowerNow Technology, a 256mb video card radeon/nvidia, and cd/dvd rw burner, and I cannot seem to find this anywhere and I have looked at a lot of places. If you know of or find a place with a laptop that meets these specs could you please paste the link here. With the AMD processor I mentioned above do 256mb video card come along with it? Thank you for your help.

The problem with your request is that 256MB graphics cards (i.e. GeForce Go 6800, ATI Mobility Radeon X800) for laptops are all PCI Express. Mobile PCI-E chipsets for A64's aren't common right now, and most manufacturers haven't started pairing them up yet. I believe ATI, VIA, and SiS all HAVE PCI-E chipsets for A64/Turion, but they're not in much use yet. Give it some time, I know Acer is coming out with a Turion based notebook that uses X700 graphics; not sure if its 256MB (not that it matters with an X700 much).

For 17", I can't recommend anyone to look for just yet. Give it some time on that.

Why do you want an AMD processor specifically? Pentium M"s are great and right now you can get a Dell 9300 with Go 6800 256MB for a steal with one of those $750 off coupons.

Right now unfrotunately that is correct.
You MIGHT be able to find an A64 notebook with a Mobility Radeon 9800 (I THINK those are 256MB), but those are expensive
