That used to be the case. But with the advent of Vista and JAWS versions
that work with Vista, that's not so much the case. Reason being JAWS
installs its own video software to serve as an interface between Windows and
the screenreader itself, so it relies less on the card in question.

Hmmm,

I was asking because I have seen some graphics cards that cause Jaws
problems.  Thanks for your response.  I figure a mainstream machine like
this should work too but...
