16 mb of ram
pentium prossessor
File system: FAT32
C drive capacity: 1 Gb
Virtual memory: 32 bit
Pc Cards (PCMCIA) Memory: 32 bit

Also has outtook and word
an external A drive
and an internal Cd drive

its not the fastest lap top on the block but it ain't the slowest either and i think it needs a new Video card or something cause it has trouble running true colors on high screen resolution

How much does a new video card cost?

Wouldn’t have a clue,
Like the video card isn't Necessary if your doing like word docs, and things of that sort,
It can run true colors its just not full screen. And by slow I mean it takes a second longer to start programs then usual.

You cant replace a videocard on a laptop without lots of electronic experience. Reason it wont do true colour is it most likely doesnt have a great load of video ram.

Just my 2c

There is only 1 laptop in the world that I know of htat you can easily replace the graphics card in, that is by alienware who specialise in high end gaming desktops and laptops. The video card in this laptop i can say with almost 100% certainty will not be able to be replaced without a vast knowledge of electronics...its not a snap out snap in afair unfortunettly.

regardless of the video resolution, it is still a great price for a tuning laptop, especially if your ecu uses older dos type pc software.

exactly right merl...sounds like a good tuning laptop to me...most of hte current ecus still use dos programs and the ones that dont usually dont use overly graphical windows programs so should be able to be used for most ecu tuning (and it will have serial connections too)

Can you upgrade the virtual memory? 32 bit isn't quite enough for me, I need about 40 or 44 bit.
