Computer hardware requirements

Post by fonzeka »

I'm using an older laptop with Intel 2.2GHz core 2 duo, 2GB RAM and a cheap SSD hard drive, OS is XP.
I was thinking it should be more than enough for some diy tuning but I'm getting some problems that makes me wonder.
Car is a S2000 with kpro4 board, my tune is using 16 rows in load index.
When online, car running and live tuning enabled I highlight the entire low cam fuel table and click ctrl+i to increase the fueling, this causes the software to lag terrible, sensor data etc stops updating and the whole kmanager seems to almost freeze.
If I click three times it might take 1min for the fuel cell data to update, the car seems to respond though but to get the kmanager software to work like normal again I need to close and reconnect.
This only happens if I select multiple cells and while I'm live tuning, if I adjust maybe 4 cells only there is no problem.
I don't have another laptop to test with right now but do you think this is the problem?

An older laptop like that should still run without any problems. Make sure nothing else is running that is using a large portion of system resources.

Okay good to know that it should be enough.
It's a clean installation without anything else running at the same time so not sure what's causing it.
Yesterday when I was out to record some logs it lost the connection multiple times after less than minutes, very annoying.

rather than use CTRL-I, try using CTRL-J and make your adjustments that way and it will go much faster.
