I just opened my HPtuners VCM editor, and looked at the task manager - 7700K
I'm not sure what the scanner uses. I know that it works with win98 though. I would either pm magnus here or email HPtuners with the specs of the laptop you're looking at and ask them if it will work.

Hardocp.com is to computers what LS1Tech.com is to LS1 cars. Try the [H]ard|OCP forums before you buy. I'd shoot for $200 for a 650 MHz, 128 Mb RAM laptop, but would go to $300 if I saw it in person and really liked it. Be certain that the monitor is still perfectly bright. Mine is just starting to dim and it's the highest tier Dell, I think four years old. It's a PIII 1000 MHz. I can't sell you it because it has overheating problems that I don't know how to fix.

To be clear, the $200 I said I'd offer for that computer is too much, in my opinion. I would only buy a new laptop, or one that's less than two or three years old for much less than it was when purchased. The trouble is, no one wants to sell "modern" laptops for less than $200.
Check out Dell's lowest end laptop for $500:
http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...=19&l=en&s=dhs
Inspiron B120
14.1 inch WXGA LCD Display
Intel® Celeron® M 360 with 1.40 GHz/1MB Cache/400MHz FSB (You don't want a Celeron if you can keep from it, but for $500...)
256MB Shared RAM, 1 DIMM ("Shared" means the video card shares the memory. Horrible if you're trying to play video games, otherwise, no problem.)
40GB Hard Drive
Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 (Terrible, but only important for video games.)
24X CD Burner/DVD Combo Drive
Windows® XP Home Edition
Integrated Network Card
Internal 56K Modem
Great buy for $499!
