    Does anyone have a suggestion for a Dell laptop for 3D content-creation running programs such as Cinema 4D, ZBrush, 3DSMax, etc? I have looked at the XPS 1730 for gaming, but do I really need to pay for the Ageia physics processor if I am not planning on gaming or creation for games? I need an excellent 17" or more screen res, dual core or quad CPU, high MB graphics and 4G not-shared memory. Which model would be good? A docking station would be good but not necessary.
    Thanks.

    You could look at the Dell Precision models.

    As a side note, I recommend you upgrade the 4GB yourself and NOT through Dell as Dell charges astronomical prices to upgrade to 4GB.
