bt broadband question

[steve]

would my system be powerful enough to run it amd duron 1100mhz 20gig hard drive 128mb of ram and some one as told me that it only worlks with pentium processers thanx for any help

[John]

My pc is not pentium and works fine.

When you phone bt they ask you what your pc is anyway.


The book they send you says:

pc:

40bytes hard drive
cd rom
usb port
pent 2 233 or above
64mb memory
win 98 or above

Unfortunately some sites only quote the Intel spec, rather than the cheaper and often better AMD version. I ran DSL until recently on an AMD 650 without any problems. Not even worth a call to BT, go ahead and enjoy highspeed pr0n.

By the way with bt plug and go, you have somthing like 7 days to send it back if you do not like it.

Till I upgraded last year I was using an 800AMD with 5Gb for my 1mb broadband connection with no problems, things are even quicker now I've got a 1.4 AMB & 55Gb. In the days before broadband and people were using 56k phonelines fast PCs were no good cause the phoneline was so slow, now with fast permanent connections a fast PC is needed, 800+ should suffice IMHO
