Old PC and BT Infinity

have an old Dell Dimensions 2400 series


Microprocessor type


Intel� Pentium� 4 that runs at 2.2 or 2.4 GHz internally and 400 MHz externally, or 2.266, 2.4, 2.53, 2.66, 2.8, or 3.06 GHz internally and 533 MHz externally.

Intel Celeron� that runs at 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, or 2.7 GHz internally and 400 MHz externally.

would this PC cope with the speed of BT Infinity ?
my speed at the moment is - 1.6 mbps against 0.3 mbps ( down and upload )

    Plenty fast enough. The Infinity broadband speed is still the limiting factor. What may be a problem for streaming video is the capability of the graphics card.

    It will certainly work and be a vast improvement on what you have, but you will probably find the bottleneck becomes the computer rather than the connection. You don't mention how much RAM is in the machine but a PC of that era will struggle to render more demanding websites smoothly.
