What specification of computer do I need to run VoIP softphones?
This depends on the softphone used – see the documentation that comes with the softphone that you intend using. The softphone / webphone that Primex supplies free will run on a Windows based computer running Win98, Me, XP home, XP prof with 64MB of ram and a processor of at least a Pentium II 233Mhz although a higher spec computer is recommended. The webphone that is included with the Primex VoIP service only runs on Internet Explorer version 6 with ActiveX enabled. You need a sound card with a microphone and speakers or headset. USB phones may require other specs and hardware IP phones or ATAs are normally able to run without a computer.
