Laptops with 64mb Video Cards?

What laptops have 64mb video cards? I'm looking for something cheap, doesn't have to be brand new or fancy. It has to meet the requirements for this ArchiCAD program though: link

I am wondering if those reqs are exaggerated though on the video card ram part?
 
The eMachines M68xx series does, as will just about any machine with a Mobility Radeon 9600, 9700, or 9800.

Take your pick...

You need to define cheap... you aren't going to find anything in the bottom couple tiers of notebooks with a real video card. Anything short of a GeForce FX 5600 Go, GeForce FX 5700 Go, or Radeon Mobility 9600. 9700, 9800 will probably not suit the need fo that CAD program.

A good video card + laptop = $$$

There's basically no way around that. You could probably put together a desktop with a decent video card + get a crappy laptop with integrated video for less than a laptop with a decent video card. Sad but true.

It also says 17" monitor minimum. I don't know of any laptops that have 17" LCD's. If there are, count on them to be mucho dinero.
