HP & Sager laptop query

Hey all.

I'm looking around for a new laptop with the following specs in mind, AMD Turion X2 TL60 or TL64 cpu, & NVIDIA chipset wiith at least 17" screen.

Thus far, I've found more or less similar specs of this sort with Sager & HP laptops. the only difference is the screen size & type of cpu used.

Sager NP59560 - 20" & TL-60

HP dv9428nr - 17" & TL-64

HP ($1,099) appears to be cheaper than the Sager which was customized to a more or less similar spec.
HP has some comparison to Sager #1 & #2 as far as ram & drive specs go..

Sager #1 - $2,989 Sager #2 - $3,264
nvidia Geforce 7950 nvidia Quadro FX2500m

are there other alternate laptops with similar amd turion & nvidia specs?

also, are the 2 models I've mentioned good laptops?

On the sager customs website page, it mentions that Vista doesn't support SLI mode. what's that?

I welcome any comments about this.

thanx all.

well, I thought AMD turion x2 cpus were cheaper than the equivalent Intel duo cores. If I'm wrong on that, I'll reconsider going intel duo cores,.

I've been wanting to go thru the AMD route for sometime after owning 2 intel based mobos (Pentium 3 1ghz & Pentium 2 350mhz) for my desktop machines that I've built. I've been considering getting a laptop to carry around and to have as an alternate desktop machine in case I have evacuate to another city from an approaching hurricane making landfall as happend to new orleans in 2005..

If you go to the HP website, it can be customized instead of the base machine found at the Best Buy link. I made the customization, it went up to $2,400.

I think HP selections are poor. It doesn't carry the kind of drives (fast) & dram (fast, but it doesn't mention what kind) I'm looking for. oh well.
