Laptop Recommendations

I am going off to college in the fall and am buying a laptop. I would
like it to be a fast computer that can handle current games. Size
isn't a huge issue but I don't want something overly bulky. I have
about 2000$ to spend (a little over won't hurt, but should be
worthwhile). Right now a few I am looking at are the HP/Compaq nc800,
Inspiron 9100, and the HP zx5000.

What I must have in the laptop:
-A fast processor
-128 MB video
-512 ram at least
-40 gig HD is sufficient
-3 Year Warranty
-XP Professional
-DVD/CDRW drive
-Wireless LAN
-Extra Battery
-Carrying Case

So if anyone has any suggestions for me it would be greatly
appreciated.

Buy an Apple Mac Power book or Ibook. you wont regret it.
