Christoph,
    Did you ever find a laptop to use? I have a laptop that has been 
sitting under my desk unused for some time (months, maybe years...) I 
believe it is a P90 with 32 MB of RAM. I know that the system is beefier 
than you requested but it is yours if you are interested. The only 
problems are that the battery is shot (surprise, surprise, surprise) and 
that there is no carom drive, but I doubt that would have much affect 
on  your testing.

Let me know if you are interested.
