Personally stay away from computers running Vista. Even with the maximum RAM it's still sluggish. I would get a PC with Windows 7. It should have at least a 1GHZ processor and at least 2GB of RAM. Also consider going 64 bit unless you require programs or drivers that are not available in 64 bit. Good luck in your research. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Julie Bentley Sent: 18 November 2009 15:47 To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Buying a new computer. Hi Listers, I would love to hear specs and software advise for buying a new computer. I will be using jaws 11 and right now have windows xp pro. What kind of hardware specs should be the minimum and maxium? Which software program up grades should I have or stay away from? I also use MS 2003. Any information would be great. Thanks!
