[JAWSLite] Core Duo and JAWS

Good morning,

An interesting observation.

For the past 3 years I have used JAWS with Windows XP on an Intel Pentium-M 
(1.4Ghz) processor with 512MB RAM.  Things worked fairly well, however, I was 
always frustrated with the lag and jitteriness of JAWS speech if I was 
listening to music or streaming radio in the background.  I am not sure if this 
is a common issue, but can understand why it could be.

I am now using JAWS on Windows VISTA with a Core Duo (u2500) 1.2Ghz processor 
and 2GB RAM.  I have noticed that there is no interference at all from music or 
other audio tasks with JAWS speech.  This is what I expected might happen when 
I decided to go with the Duo.

Now, this could be that my new computer  has more memory (probably not).  I am 
wondering if anyone else has experienced this jitteriness when using JAWS and 
other audio programs at the same time and if anyone who has experienced it is 
using a Duo processor?  If it can be determined that jitteriness is a common 
problem and that the Duo processor releives or eliminates the symptoms then it 
would be good to suggest to anyone purchasing a new computer to look into the 
Duo line of processors.

Thanks,
Everett
