I want to tune, but what laptop?

I want to tune my own car and I want to do it cheap. I have been finding laptops on ebay for around $100, but I don't know how much memory, ram, or the speed of the processor I need just to tune. Also, is TunerCat the cheapest tuning program? Does it do as much as Lt1 edit? Could you guys help me out.

Just a few ideas.

Thanks,
Benji

I think you need something with Windows 98 and up with a CD-R.

Re: I want to tune, but what laptop?

i would try to find a laptop with at least a 300 mhz cpu. Ram is also very important, get the most you can find (128mb +). Also i would put windows 2000 on it for stability. I would never trust windows 95, 98, Me for tuning my car. Tunercat is the cheapest program, and just as good as lt1 edit In my opinion. obviously it has to have a serial port, and some way to transfer data to it (network jack, cdrom, etc.. )
