Hi Justin,
Bluetooth compatibility itself is nothing to do with your computer. You can
buy a Bluetooth adapter for your PC that plugs into the USB port, so as long
as you have USB on your computer, and if you don't yours is quite old, then
you can add Bluetooth.
All the best

also, another thing about bluetooth, to my understanding is that the
motherboard needs to have a bleutooth component in it? or, it has to be a
bluetooth motherboard?
I've no idea if mine is bluetooth enabled or not. it's a 2003 model and I
know the model and type but, that's it really.
So, bluetooth is neither here nor there to me. i wish they'd use USB
connections as well as bluetooth and infrered. I cannot use pc swuite on a
bluetooth basis.
