3 Mobile Broadband on Windows 2000

[murphy]

Just a quick straw pole, I am just wondering if anyone is using the 3 mobile broadband system on Windows 2000. The gumph from 3 says it will work on XP and Vista but as my old laptop runs 2000 I was just wondering as to whether it was a feasable option.

 

Can anyone help?

Scroll down to the "3 Mobile Broadband USB Modems" section... it lists what modem is compatible with what operating system

Windows 2000 architecture is very similar to Windows XP and will usually work any software/hardware that is designed for XP. Windows Millenium Edition / 98 / 95 however are very different animals and will need their own drivers.

 

Try it!! You should always be able to upgrade to XP if you really struggle; you'll be amazed how little spec hardware will actually run WinXP despite what Microsoft specify. Incidentally I am a Beta tester for Windows 7 and it appears to function on much less hardware than Vista needs; so there may be further upgrade options for you when it is released as they are doing a 'starter' edition for older PCs.

 

PS: it's much more stable than Vista was at Beta, and is prettier so you'll like it!!.
