is there anyone using sct x3??
will there be a problem if i use netbook to do datalog?
fswerks is telling me to use something different.
they are saying netbook are too weak and make the data very blocky and not very useful.
mine is brand new netbook, intel atom n455, 1.66ghz, 1gb ram, 250gb hard drive. not the best one out there but i think it is good enough to run 1 livelink software.
what do you all think?

If you haven't already, give Randy the specs on your netbook ... but in any event take whatever advice he gives you. Your tune is not the place to be overthinking the expert. Also: it's probably the OS that's the issue.

Windows 7 on 1gb of ram = laggy. I wouldn't use windows 7 with anything less than 3gb to 4gb of ram.

I think you'll be fine, biggest issues I had was getting the drivers/software to play nice under windows 7. iirc my old laptop I datalogged with had similar specs and I datalogged fine.

The minimum requirements for windows 7 32bit is 1gb. Trust me I wouldn't even run XP on that much. Get at least another 1gb stick or put in a 2gb one.
FYI Win 7 64bit is min 2gb of ram.

Wouldn't Randy be the right guy to ask since you're paying him to do the tune?
