I'm looking for a notebook that uses one of the AMD 64 bit CPUs, and is about 5 pounds.

Wide screen and graphics with discrete graphics memory would be pluses.

Any recommendations?

Compaq's V2000z series with Semprons or Turions are 14" wide and are 5.5 lb. I think they have the Radeon IGP200. Still integrated, but at least it's a Radeon.

The Turion IS and A64, albiet one that runs on lower voltages, and with a full meg of cache. (Most A64's sold today have 512k).

Thanks for the replies. The Compaq v200Z looks like the closest fit for me. The graphics memory is not discrete, but shared. But, the ATI chipset should be just fine.

I plan on installing Windows x64 in a dual boot. I've checked and there are 64bit drivers for all the major parts including the Broadcom WiFi card.
