Minimum Processor Speed for Infinity
Hope someone can help, we are having infinity installed this Thursday, we have no pc - just 2 laptops.
Looking at the min spec required on the bt website it states a 2ghz processor. Now whilst one of the laptops has this, the other is only running 1.2ghz.
Can anyone confirm that as long as one of the laptops has the min 2ghz speed we will be ok, and that the 1.2ghz laptop will work with the increased broadband speed?
Thanks in advance

Thanks, we're looking forward to it. We currently have 6mbps and have been told we should get the full 40mbps. The router , welcome pack arrived this morning, but haven't opened that, will wait the for the engineer Thurs afternoon. Looking forward to seeing hd youtube videos at last.
Thanks,
I wondered if perhaps if has something to do with the router install, the laptop we have with the slower 1.2ghz has 3GB memory and is only used for internet browsing. We'll use the faster laptop for the install anyhows.
I'm puzzled too, are BT saying tablets and phone won't work with Infinity? Very strange indeed.
Unless you have a very old machine it shouldn't make any difference.

I have it at work and don't remember an install, you can just login to the router to change settings.

It's confused me, but here is where they give the spec requirements based on the os
