What are the system requirements of a PC in order to support HSDPA devices?

The system requirements will vary depending on the make and type of the device. Most of the Laptops or Personal Computers in use today, are capable of supporting them.

Generally, a personal computer (Laptop or Desktop) with the following configuration would meet the requirements:

• Processor 1 GHz or advanced
• RAM 512 MB or advanced
• Free Space 100MB
• OS - Windows 2000/XP/Vista

However, the above configuration should only be used as a guideline and it is advised to ascertain the compatibility of the system requirements of the device with the computer you intend to use before purchasing.

If you are using a Laptop/PC running on a different OS (Apple Mac etc.,) please check with the modem manufacturer's specifications for compatibility.
