I am on the look out for a new laptop for two reasons, firstly for setting up my R1 engine i will be using a powercommander 3, and secondly when i have finished with it i will give it to my son for his general school work he is 15.5 and soon starting exams.
For the powercommander do i need anything with a lot of memory.

And any recommendations on computer makes.

My Dta ecu needs a min of 1ghz and 250mb of ram.

Vista doesnt seem to like serial adapters.

So not to old and not to new

It wont run on this laptop or the old one ive just bought for £20

Some 2nd user Toshiba Portege R200 running XP pro are being sold off by Morgan Computers 1gb memory 60gb hard disk 3 months warranty. £190 quid
