Looking for Laptops with 128Mb stand alone memory ATI or nVidia

Hi guys

I am looking for a decent laptop to buy and i've heard about the ati radeon 9600 mobility chip pro that supports 128mb - but i havnt seen any laptop manufacturers taking up on the chip as yet - would anyone know of any?

Doesnt necessary need to be laptops with ati radeon 9600 chips, i would be interested in laptops that use nvidia to go chips too if they come with 128 mb of video memory (not shared of course).

I would appreciate it if you could refer me to the make and model numbers - thanks (web page link would be great too). :)

Thanks for now.
