Hey there guys, I am looking to purchase an ALL purpose laptop. I need it to be really good with gaming (able to run DX 9 stuff well) so I am thinking 9600 Mobility Pro + w/ at least 128 MB of video memory. I plan on getting a gig of RAM, however if I order from Dell I am going to take the standard amount, order the memory from crucial and install it myself.
However, where I am stuck is which chipset to go with?
P4, Pentium M, or AMD64?
I need this machine to also have some decent battery life as it might be dragged along to lectures in college, and I would like to be able to use it when/if I travel without it dieing on me in like an hour.
Vendors I had in mind:

Vendors I had in mind:
- Hypersonic (either the 17" P4 machine, 15.4" P4, or 15.4" AMD64)
- Dell (either the 9100 or the 8600)
