Hp tuners/ Laptop ??? I just ordered a refurbished laptop to run my hp tuner enhanced I/O on (and only hp tuners on). It has all the recommended requirements. I was curious though, it has a USB port, but I'm not sure wich version, 1.0 1.1, 2.0. Does it matter, am I going to have a problem? It's a Dell Latitude c600. Any input would be appreciated.

i picked up a new gateway from bestbuy for $449 about a month ago...i would check out gateway/dell and if you work for a government agency you can usually get a 10% discount on new stuff. With new prices as low as they are unless you need a serial port real bad just buy new.

Just wondering, according to this:
http://www.hptuners.com/help/index.h...quirements.htm
you need USB 2.0, I hurried and canceled my laptop order so I wouldn't be screwed!
I really just want something to run Hp STRONG, I'll leave everything else up to the pc.

Thanks for the clarification. Guess I should look before I leap! Is a bit confusing though on the hp page though. Well that ought to save me about $100 if I decide not to go the USB 2.0 route.
Will it run better with USB 2.0? Thanks Guys!
