    I've been looking at some ASUS models that are interesting.

    ASUS F5SR
    ASUS X5DAB
    ASUS X61SL

    The problem with these though, is that ASUS (nor the store) don't say if it is DDR2 or GDDR3 VRAM. To me, it makes a huge difference.
    Does anyone here know?

    Can't find any reviews on them (probably because they are made for a smaller market or something like that). I'll take your warning into advice though.
