Does anyone know of any notebook that will run XP Pro X64?
The better the processor and the more memory the better.

If purchasing a new one and if you are looking just to run 64-bit - go with a new laptop, 8GB+ memory, dual or quad-core processor and a non-shared video card *with* Windows 7 Ultimate x64. If you are limiting yourself to Windows XP because you are comfortable with the look/feel - I would suggest you reconsider. If you are limiting yourself to Windows XP because of program compatibility - I would see if the manufacturer's of said product(s) might be working on updated versions or into virtual machines. -- Shenan Stanley MS-MVP -- How To Ask Questions The Smart Way http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Unless the laptop came with this pre-installed, you will have extreme problems finding compatible hardware drivers, if they ever existed. If you must have Windows XP Pro for business softwares (no 3D graphics would be possible) consider getting Windows 7 Business / Ultimate 64 bit and get the "virtual" Windows XP Pro mode. The hardware need to support the "actualization" modes
