BT Infinity and laptop processor compatability

I have just ordered BT Infinity to be installed in October 2012.
My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite with an Intel Pentium Dual Core !.60 GHz processor. The laptop utilises Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 2. The RAM memory is 2 GB and have installed a 'n' type USB wireless adapter.
The BT Home Hub 3, hopefully, will be using 'n' type wireless network.
The BT Infinity installataion web page calls for the processor to have a minimium specification of 2 GHz.
Will my existing laptop with an Intel Pentium Dual Core !.60 GHz processor work with BT Infinity using 'n' type wireless network?
BT Infinity Help Desk could not confirm that it will work, so any advise would be welcome. 

That only refers to all of the extra BT software, which you do not need anyway, as it will work without it.
Just enter the wireless key into your laptop, and it should be fine.

  • Can I run Adobe CC on a convertible tablet and laptop?

    I am thinking of buying the 'HP Envy x2 ' convertible tablet and laptop. The processor is Intel Core M, 4 GB Ram, and 500 GB hard drive. I want to make animations in after effects, use photoshop and illustrator and play the films I make on the 15.6" touch screen at exhibitions.
    Any advice welcome!

  • Infinity and Anywhere

    I recently ordered Infinity but a nice Irish lady rang to say that Infinity is not compatible with Broadband Anywhere. When I said that that I found that difficult to understand she commented that the issue is with BT's billing system.
    When will this be sorted out?

    Dear BT,
    I'm also very keen to find out about this. Just had a lovely leaflet through from you telling me I can now get Infinity (and at less than Anywhere package), but I come on here only to find there's some non-technical "compatability" issue with my totally unrelated mobile phone.
    Seriously BT sort yourselves out, because as soon as another company gets even close to your high uptime levels we'll all be off.
    Look I'll tell you what, let me switch to Infinity and charge me a monthly fee for my continued phone use on top - that's fair, yes?
    I'm very brand-loyal and a top of the range product user, I've had BTBBA, or Option 3, or whatever previosuly for nearly 10 years. I have BTvision. I want to spend money on a good new product: so stop trying to p*$$ me off and make me take my business and my wallet elsewhere.
    Yours looking forward to this issue being resolved very shortly...

  • Use of CC on PC and laptop

    I have subscription for CC. Can i download it on my PC and laptop as I travel a lot
    . With past purchases this has been allowed but with CC it refuses the key when I try to download onto my laptop.

    Hi frogaus,
    I would like to state that the present CC also allows you to activate your subscription on two computers.
    Incase you are facing difficulty in downloading it on your Laptop, please check for  compatibility of the OS,techinal abberations, internet connectivity & firewall status.
    This is because download should not be restricted, though activation of subscription after install is restricted to the count of two.

  • Network an iMac, PC and Laptop

    Hi, I just purchased an iMac and want to network the new iMac, an existing Dell PC (w/XP Pro) and an existing Dell Laptop (w/XP Home). Currently I have a Belkin Wireless Pre-N Router that the PC and Laptop are networked on (to a cable modem). I'm wondering if I can use that configuration or should get the AirPort Extreme and go that route. Ultimately I would love to be able to share the printer and the external hardrive among the 3 computers. I don't mind investing in the new technology as long as I know it works and works well. I've done some research and I've officially confused myself. That's why I am here now. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Matt, I have not tried to set up the iMac as of yet. Mainly because it has ot arrived yet! Hopefully tomorrow. It is the newer iMac with the Intel processor. I'm thinking that I do want both the printer and the external HD shared so I might go with the new AirPort Extreme.
    Hi
    Both the Belkin and the Airport Extreme will work
    with all your computers, they just have different
    configuration methods. The Belkin (I believe) does
    not have the capability to share USB printers or hard
    drives, so if that's a deal-breaker for you, go with
    the Airport.
    Have you tried to set up the iMac on your current
    network yet?
    Also, is your iMac one of the old CRT models
    (specific to this forum), or a new Intel model (which
    has its own forum here).

  • BT Infinity and Zyxel Powerline Adapters - connect...

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded the Infinity and also moved house. So now I have the HH3 with BT Infinity. I use Zyxel Powerline adapters, but struggling to get a connection. 
    I'm using the following to connect to the HH3 http://www.zyxel.com/uk/en/products_services/pla4225.shtml?t=p and connecting through the Giga or Ethernet inputs on the back of the HH3 but when I try to connect my PC/Laptop to the Powerline adapter in my bedroom it cannot find the network.
    Any thoughts? Should I be connecting the Powerline Adapter to the HH3 or the white router BT supply? Do I need to configure something when setting up the Ethernet connection with my PC? I'm using my BT account credentials [email protected] and password but it's not connecting.
    Any inspiration/experimentation welcomed.
    Thanks.

    Should I be connecting the Powerline Adapter to the HH3 or the white router BT supply?
    Do I need to configure something when setting up the Ethernet connection with my PC? I'm using my BT account credentials [email protected] and password but it's not connecting.
    Normally, connect one powerline to the HomeHub and the other to the PC.  If the PC has been set up in the standard way, it will then get a local ip address by DHCP from the HomeHub.  You might go to your PC ethernet adaptor settings and make sure they are set up for 'dhcp' and 'get DNS setttings automatically'.   You won't need to enter any credentials in the PC for this method.  You shouldn't go near the 'connect to the internet' dialog; it should just work automatically.
    If you only want to connect a single PC, you could connect the first powerline to the white modem and leave out the HH3 completely.  You would then need to put credentials into the PC: the normal thing there is to enter user '[email protected]', and the password doesn't matter.  That goes into a 'connect to the internet' dialog.
    Make sure the 'internet' or whatever lights are blinking on both powerlines, otherwise there is a problem with those, or  the bedroom ring is not connected closely enough to the other ring.  Unlikely, I had a perfectly good connection through different rings and different fuse boxes on different floors with similar zyxel powerline (only single ethernet ones); at least until one stopped working altogether.

  • Laptop Processors​...

    Laptop Processors :
    The microprocessor, or CPU, works with the operating system to control the computer. It essentially acts as the computer's brain. The CPU produces a lot of heat, so a desktop computer uses circulating air, a fan and a heat sink -- a system of plates, channels and radiator fins used to draw heat off of the processor to cool off. Since a laptop has far less room for each of these cooling methods, its CPU usually:
        * Runs at a lower voltage and clock speed -- This reduces heat output and power consumption but slows the processor down. Most laptops also run at a higher voltage and clock speed when plugged in, and at lower settings when using the battery.
        * Mounts to the motherboard without using pins -- Pins and sockets take up a lot of room in desktop PCs. Some motherboard processors mount directly to the motherboard without the use of a socket. Others use a Micro-FCBGA (Flip Chip Ball Grid Array), which uses balls instead of pins. These designs save space, but in some cases mean that the processor cannot be removed from the motherboard for replacement or upgrading.
        * Has a sleep or slow-down mode -- The computer and the operating system work together to reduce the CPU speed when the computer is not in use or when the processor does not need to run as quickly. The Apple G4 processor also prioritizes data to minimize battery drain.
    Some laptops use desktop CPUs that are set to run at lower clock speeds. Although this can improve performance, these laptops typically run much hotter and have a significantly reduced battery life.
    Laptops usually have small fans, heat sinks, heat spreaders or heat pipes to help dissipate the heat from the CPU. Some higher end laptop models reduce heat even further with liquid coolant kept in channels alongside the heat pipe. Also, most laptop CPUs are near the edge of the unit. This allows the fan to move the heat directly to the outside instead of across other components....

  • Upgrading my laptops processor?

    Hi there,  I want to make my computer (model = 15-r001na) faster for playing games as It is always well under the, what I  heard was the minimum standard for gaming, 30fps, can I change the processor in this laptop model and, if so, what processors are the best for gaming that are compatible with this laptop? This laptops processor right now is the Intel(R) Pentium(R).

    Well what you have is the: Microprocessor2.58 GHz Intel Pentium N3530 with Intel HD Graphics That is a "Bay Trail" processor which is not a bad thing in and of itself but those processors are designed to be low cost and use little electricity. They are fine for web browsing, email, even youtubes and other video but not for games. And they are soldered right onto the motherboard so there is no upgrade possible.  Your laptop is just not designed to play serious games and is also designed to be inexpensive and "green", and is a basically closed system with very little upgrade possibility. The Bay Trails are actually pretty amazing for how much computing power can be achieved with just a small amount of electricity but they do lag behind the Intel Core models a bit. http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Pentium-N3530-vs-Intel-Core-i3-4030U If this is "the Answer" please click "Accept as Solution" to help others find it.

    Thank you.
    First you need to take it apart and find the fan part number and go to eBay and get a replacement new fan from there and then swap the new fan for your old one and that should keep it going. Also when doing this redo your thermal paste for both the CPU and GPU if they are attached to the same heat sink.

  • Cluster Processor Compatibility.

    Can you cluster nodes with E5-2600 processors (Sandy Bridge) and E5-2600 v2 (Ivy Bridge) without enabling Processor compatibility at the VM level? 

    Hi AuZZZie,
    We recommend you to use the identical hardware for Hyper-V cluster nodes.
    Sandy and Ivy are different architecture , so they are different processor .
    Based on my understanding , this is a compatibility issue on cluster level .

  • HT204053 I have one apple id for my iPad and a second apple id for my iPhone and laptop. I just want to use one apple id. How do I delete the apple id on my iPad and make it consistent with the other two devices?

    I have one apple id on my iPad and a second apple id on my iPhone and laptop. I want to use one apple id for everything. I tried wiping my iPad and synching it with my laptop. The old apple id still remains on my iPad. I can't get rid of it. Help.

    On the iPad open Settings/iCloud and delete the account using the button at the bottom. Once deleted log in using the other account. For iTunes Stores use Settings/iTunes & Apps Stores, tapp on the Apple ID at the top then sign out. Once done sign in using the other account. Once you are happy with the changes plug your iPad into your computer to update the backup.

    You're music can be downlooaded (if it was purchased using iTunes) have you signed into your account in iTunes on the new laptop?
    If the music was not purchased from iTunes and you are using iTunes Match you can also download it. If you are not using iTunes Match music that was not purchased from iTunes is gone.
