    I currently work for a company that allows me to work from home...however it says I need a AMD,Celeron or Duron or PIII and mine is a VIA Samuel 2...how can I upgrade without buying a new computer or spending a fortune??

    Also how can I get more speed for my processor? The min. requirements for my job is 800 mhz and mine is 734 mhz...any help is greatly appreciated...thank you in advance..

    What is it that you need to do? The Via is comparable to a celeron ...and the speed difference is negligible ... have you tried doing whatever it is that you need to do for the work at home?

    What programs...what is it that they need the aforementioned requirements to run? Why is your system not capable ...just by their definition of what you "should" have?

    Exactly...they say my processor is insufficient and my processor speed isn't enough

    My computer runs the programs I need to do the work just fine but if I get an error they keep bringing up that I fall short on the processor requirements

    we have an assistant program that shows what we have that needs improvement and what programs we need to run the software...and it shows I need to upgrade those 2 things...the errors are something having to do with the work I do..just cannot complete errors

    It's very difficult to give you an answer, without knowing what is going on ...I assume(?) that the assistant program is scanning your computer and reporting what your system is and then telling you what you need ...so what program updates do you need that it reports?
    Are you sure the errors are related to your system and not the program?

    I really need more info so I don't just tell you to buy a new computer...LOL.

    I work for an at home company taking calls for different things and the assistant runs on the computer and then tells you if you have all the right programs to run their applications...and mine doesn't pass the processor or the speed. It says I need to upgrade the processor and the processor speed. That's all I know

    So is it just the pop-up saying your aren't "up to speed" ...maybe you need to uninstall the "assistant"....

    Requires Upgrade CPU Processor Name: VIA Samuel 2
    Your processor is insufficent. The CPU type must be one of the following: Pentium III or higher, Athlon, Celeron, Duron.

    Requires Upgrade CPU Mhz: 734
    Your processor speed is too low. The minimum CPU speed is 800 Mhz

    That's what it's telling me under advanced information

    I don't know where you are located but in the UK there are charitable recycling organisations which make available computers that tax collectors (public servants) throw out after 3 minutes or so use. These organisations then make them available to the rest of us (tax payers).

    The website for the Somerset area is

    But if you are talking about a 7 year old system ....upgrading may be more expensive than a new system ....(I'm speculating here as you haven't told us what you have ...ram, power supply, etc.).
