Fast & Light Notebooks?

[live4spd]

I have a situation at my company that I need some fast notebooks. We would be using them for AutoCAD possibly Revit (major memory hog) and graphics applications. It seems IBM only makes centrino processor notebooks. Are these even fast enough to consider?

I like the Dell 5160's because they are fast, but they are too heavy for some of my users. (whining babies I know) Anyway do you have any suggestions on fast notebooks that are 5-6 pounds or so with 15" screens?

TIA

Available with a ATI 128mb vid card and 1600 screen
If I'm not mistaken their Centrino Setup with 765 processor is probably just as fast
Ibm probably best choice for serious work waranty etc.
