Laptop for Winaldl

I'm looking for a laptop to run Winaldl on and eventually get into burning and whatnot, but for now I'm interested in just basics. I don't want to spend anymore than 250 though. Basically I'm looking for advice on the minimum I should get spec wise. I'm pretty computer literate when playing around on them but I don't know the difference between 666 MHz and a gig..... sad, maybe. But i can get myself around once I'm inside of one. Also, if anyone knows a good one to bid on on Ebay of is selling one themselves, let me know. Thanks

I think they went with 667, neighbor of the beast. Anyway, if it will strictly be a diagnostic/tuning laptop, something like this will work. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=31548 I would imagine this ending around 75 shipped. If you have more to spend, I would suggest faster, but this will work if speed isn't a huge factor.

I highly recommend spending a little more and getting something faster than a 120mhz with 16 megs of RAM. If you're serious about tuning your (which I assume you are, since you're getting into chip editing), you'll want to splurge a little and get a laptop that will last a while and will be able to run all the programs you may end up running in order to tune, or at least run a recent, supportable OS.

Tuning technology is going to evolve, and most significant in this case, its going to leave a 120mhz laptop in the dust.
