Considering your budget and your requirements, there's only one thing to do - steal a powerful laptop! Now, being serious, there's only one answer to give you - you won't find a laptop for your needs in that price range. My best advice would be to get a decent desktop for your purpose - after the latest price drops, I think you can easily build a system with 4GB of fast, low-latency DDR2 memory, some Intel Q6600 CPU or better(around $200, after the latest price drops), two fast SATA2 drives for a RAID setup, and a NVIDIA 9600GT/8800GT/maybe a Radeon HD 3870.

Considering your 3D needs, the laptop will surely heat up like hell, so I don't see it surviving for a long time in these conditions.
