[JAWSLite] Re: Core Duo and JAWS

Actually, you probably got a better sound chip on that new computer then you had with the old computer. That is why some of your problems went away.
The processing chip has no baring on jaws op orations.

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
