    What computer are you using for HPTuners?

    Just out of curiousity, what PC are you using for tuning? Post up your details.

    I am using a Sony Vaio PCG-7V2L, Vista SP1 32-bit, Intel Core 2 T5500 1.66GHz, 2GB memory, 150GB harddrive. Thats pretty much all I know about it from my "System" page. It works great and all, no problems whatsoever. I think its on the big side and have been thinking about getting another laptop just for tuning. I was looking at the Dell Mini 9 but it says it has Linux as the OS. Ive never used Linux before so I dont know what the difference is. Would you guys recomend the Dell Mini 9 or will it not work with HPTuners?

    IBM ThinkPad T61, Windows XP Pro Version 2002 Service Pack 3, Intel Core Duo CPU @ 2.5 GHz, 2.98 GB of Ram, 160GB HDD-7200RPM hard drive, 8x DVD-R/W drive, 9 cell Li-Ion battery, 15.4 WSXGA+TFT-128MB display, wireless antenna. Works great but would be overkill for a HPT tuning only laptop. Had Vista on it but down graded to XP Pro. Got a good deal on the 15.4" screen but should have picked up a 14" or even a 12" since I log nearly every trip. Black box tuning works great with others in the truck.

    Dell Latitude D520 (have to still have 9 pin serial for me). USB sometimes lags, but I do not feel slowed down with it. This one replaced a D500 Latitude that worked flawlessly. Uses a core 2 duo processor with 1 GB of RAM.
