System Requirements, Sign Up, Get Connected Get Turbo


System Requirements

Basics: If your computer has a modem and your house has a phone line, you can use MyWorld.Net. Still, you may find it easiest if you computer is running MacOS 9 or 10, or Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, or XP. (If you're running Windows 95, you'll need to be running the latest releases of Microsoft Dial-Up Networking ("MS DUN 1.4") and Microsoft Windows Socket Extension ("MS Winsock 2").)

To use MyWorld Turbo, you'll need Win 95b or newer, 64 MB of memory, 5 MB of hard disk space, and a processor at least as fast as a 200 MHz Pentium.

Browser: You'll need a web browser so you can view sites on the World Wide Web. If you don't already have one that you like, we suggest that you choose one of these:

Mozilla
for Windows, Mac, and others
Netscape Navigator
for Windows and others
Microsoft Internet Explorer
for Windows PC users
Apple Safari
for Mac OS X users

Modem: To get online, your computer needs to have a modem connected to an active telephone line. We recommend the highest speed available, currently 56k with support for the v.92 protocol, but slower modems will work as well. For MyWorld Turbo, your access speeds will go 4 to 6 times faster than the regular speed of your modem. So a 28.8k modem with Turbo will run slower than a 56k modem with Turbo, but still much faster than a 28.8k modem without Turbo.
