Re: [sussex_mug] Basic question

If you have an Intel Core 2 Duo processor it’s 64-bit. I think all iMacs from 2011 on have been 64-bit. Cheers, Stephen Jeremy Gilbert, former chief petroleum engineer for BP: “The current fields we are chasing we’ve known about for a long time in many cases, but they were too complex, too fr

As far as I know, all intel processors from core duo onwards or maybe core2duo are 64 bit. You can fire up Activity monitor in the Utilities folder of Applications to see processes running in 64 bit mode. > On 11 Dec 2017, at 21:26, Russell Brown wrote: > > I have a late 2011 iMac. Where do I l

Hi Gilly, I guess I’m just expecting the worst. Even in my exiting two bed flat the wi-fi signal gets borderline at the back of the second bedroom so I’m expecting a four floor house to have similar issues. Of course it might be just that I’m still using a near ten year old 02 router… Phil -

Phil, I am puzzled by your problem with one router for four floors. We have three floors and only one router – Technicolor TG582 Pro – and have no problems at all. Furthermore, our neighbour, whose house adjoins ours, used our broadband (from her home) while she was waiting for her wifi to be so

Yes, great thread, thanks to everybody that’s chipped in. With regard to the Devolo mains/network hardware, there seems to be a choice between the 500 and 1200 range of products - one being faster but more expensive than the other. Does anybody have any thoughts on whether the extra speed of th

I'd never consider any other supplier than Zen (and we've experienced BT before!) The speed is consistent and reliable. Support (if you need it) is excellent and its in the UK (no overseas call centre). On the face of it, Zen may seem expensive and BT's 'opening deal' always looks inviting. Bu
