[Andrew]

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

Most modern ones. Check with the manufacturer/read the specifications.

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.

XP Pro 64-Bit was a dud, not worth the time, money or effort.
Better choice would be Windows 7 64-Bit.

Officially, XP Pro 64bit was an OEM only version. 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
