I have recently bought a computer.
The model is an Athlon XP 2000.
The front speed bus memory is 2X133MHZ.

Is this ok for bt broadband?

To put it in perspective, broadband can deliver up to 64,000 bytes/second.

An XP2000 can process 2000,000,000 bytes/second.

No, it's too fast. ;^)

Just occured to me, a XP2000 can do several
instructions in the time the light travels from
monitor to eye. Mainly waiting for the user.
Scary...

I'd hope so - the only machine that's directly plugged into my ADSL is a
50MHz 486...

That is what the concept behind Seti@Home was designed around.
