Re: Can Jaws slow down your computer?

I suspect that another 512MB of RAM would help a lot.  All of that Media Center 
stuff is running on top of the Windows XP Pro operating system and taking  up 
resources.

    hmmm, what version of windows are you running? 98? XP?  
    XP cleans up after itself pretty well I've had it on this work computer for 
over 2 years and everything still runs fairly well.  I've had xp on my home 
computer for  4 years and it is starting to slow down quite a bit. 3 or 4 
minutes at bootup.

    98SE didn't clean house very well and can drasticly slow down after a year 
or 2

    other things you might think about, is getting a cleaner for ad aware, spy 
ware, etc.  Defragging all that fun stuff.

      What else could cause computers to be slow? I have alot of memory and ram 
so It should not be slow but it is.

        Well, it's no secret JFW can at times be resource intensive. But, 
        somehow, I doubt the performance hit you take running it will be very 
        much different from if you didn't have it running. Particularly on 
        today's computers. I've run several processes I know full well are 
        more resource intensive than JFW, and this computer's nothing 
        special, but it was still fairly fast all things considered.
