Computer Questions and meeting Min-Operating Limitations

Nos · Post by **Nos** » Mon Jun 02, 2008 9:34 pm

Hello, First off thanks for being here I am a new member as of 06-02 and I did read thru posts and use the search features and didn't find a reasonable close answer to my questions so here goes:

My question is whats the Min computer you can use. I read were the windows 2k could be manually loaded and tricked into working. How much Ram is really needed. Also I saw on the USB, reports to use the ones attached to the Motherboard for Best set up, which leads me to my 2nd question. There is reg-usb speeds and fast usb speeds depending on hardware. I have noticed when I plug a high speed device into my usb connectors Ft or Back I get a ballon on XP saying I could have faster rates thru 2.0, but mine is a reg hub so will Magic-jack work on this hub direct off the motherboard or do I need the fast usb. I will add my PC specs below, Thanks for your time in advance. Also note that all updates are current on xp ser pack2 and should I install sp3 before installing Magic-jack.

Hi, I have my Magicjack running on a dedicated computer that is a Pentium II with 384mb of ram running XP Service pack 2, with two 8 gb hard drives. It's plugged directly into the USB port on the back of the computer that is of course not 2.0 and it seems to work just fine. Hope that helps, Scott

it works on a AMD Athlon 1100+ with 1 GB of memory, with XP Pro Service Pack 2 that's the lowest i have tried.
