A good point. Other than the Dell mentioned, vendors will tell you "not supported" if you ask about it.

A workaround is to install VMWare, or VPC or VS, then install a server or 64 Bit OS on the virtual machine.

The original post said "ones which are still laptops...not 12 pound monstrosities . ". I would draw the line on laptops with mobile chipsets for this, as opposed to laptops with desktop chipsets.
