since i couldnt get that other one working and an engine code popped up on my car i decided it was time to get me a new one. i got a cheaper toshiba a135-s2276 its vista and decent for what its going to be used for. im going to be using this a lot in my car for tuning and other realted things. i have a tuning and programmer for my car that i can run through this so i can run engine maps change boost engine timings and all that so itll be fun Smile

i'd make sure it has XP drivers, heh. At work i've had several people come in that wanted to downgrade from Vista to XP because Visual Studio 2005/2003 can be a bit buggy with Vista, a lot of the 'vista ready' computers fail to mention that they dont support XP, which leaves you SOL if you want to install it and your wireless/ethernet card doesnt have XP drivers. Generic/Similar drivers werent much of a help either, I've spent a lot of hours trying to get XP to work fully on pre-loaded vista laptops.
