Hi:I'm looking for a laptop that:1. Does not have any non-volatile RAM2. Does not need any non-volatile RAM to run properly3. Compromises among the following:3a. Is the least expensive3b. Has the most volatile RAM [with the least duration of data remanenceafterthe laptop is offed]3c. Is compatible with the wireless adapter with the strongest transmitterandmost sensitive receiver [in which the MAC address of the wi-fi adaptercan bechanged]Where can I find this laptop and wi-fi adapter?What OS would be compatible with the above laptop and wi-fi adapter?In addition, I also want to be able to change the 802.11 nickname. Here ismoreinfo about the 802.11 nickname:Quote from :"The 802.11 Nickname field is a little-known feature of the wireless specthatsends your hostname to the AP. This is obviously bad."I plan to boot from a CD, not an HDD.The reason I want this is because I really care about my privacy andsecurity.What is my best bet?Thanks,Green Xenon --------------------------------------- Posted through

I don't think such a thing exists any more -- all modern laptops have some flash ROM or battery-backed RAM to store their boot configuration. (The BIOS itself is also nearly always flash ROM these days.)The above sounds obvious naive.---Joel

Where can I find a computer like this?

Yeah, a ten-bagger is a record for Dimmie. Seven is pretty easy, but ten is certainly an accomplishment worthy of note.
