looking for advice on new laptop purchase,specs etc

hi
fair point my current one runs xp,not to up on computers as you can tell.

Am i right in thinking that most modern ones run on windows 7 and that ssdc does run on this operating system.???

hi
there are many reasons for the upgrade but the main one is so i can gurantee that the wireless throttles will work when i get round to ordering a few.

Thinking of around the 3 - £400 mark.

What would be a good processor speed to aim for,will be racing six cars so would like to factor in a bit of reserve to ensure reliable running...

hi
thanks for your continued input,laptop is for ssdc only.i want it to run smoothly without any lag so i3 sounds like the one.

hi
thanks for the info,can anyone vouch for the acer brand.???

hi
i take it the acer mentioned has the necessary bluetooth built in as i dont want to have a seperate dongle.

3 usb ports would be nice to..

hi
so i got a np in the sale,4 gig of ram,500 gig hard drive,bluetooth built in and it's a I3 as well.

So now the tricky part(for me anyway)i have downloaded ssdc and it ended up in documents,i is still a zipped file.

I now i need to unzip it but is it in the right place to start and what do i need to do next to get it up and running.?? Do the ftdi drivers install automatically.???

hi
yes should of added its windows 7 64bit .

This does sound a lot easier to install than V4 was. Had to send last pc away to get it running. Pooters are not my strong suit.

Thanks chris 99 .

hi
well the ssdc install was indeed a breeze compared to my last effort on old lappy and V4.

The ftdi drivers would not install automatically no matter what i did so found an old thread where Rikorocket had included a link to the site wich had auto install for them.

Downloaded the file to smartphone and then transfered it to lappy with bluetooth,worked a treat.

hi
yes im on the list but where i know not. No rush as im still a few weekends away from getting track running.

Spent most of saturday wiring up and fixing the xlc's and pb into boards,nearlly ready to start coppertaping.

Chips and other stuff are ready for posting and they will be posted this week saturday at latest.
