And the rule of thumb is this adjust visual settings for best performance.
Don’t load anything at start up you don’t need. Get a copy of dectalk access
32 it will use less system resources and ram. Hth

Let me correct something, You can get a rating of 3.0 and still have good
performance on a laptop.
The Laptop I have is aAcer 9400 series Full size laptop. The scores is as
follow. Processor: 4.7 Memory: 4.6 arrow desktop 3.9 Gameing Graphics
3.7 Hard drive 5.0.
Note: This is the score I have, after upgrading the Hard Disk to a Hybrid
drive, and also using Modded INF Drivers for the video and other tweaks. I
could make the score be higher if I wanted to push the laptop in
overclocking mode, but, that would be stupid as then you would not have long
battery life, and chance on hardware and software failure.
I build computers, and do networking and so forth.
I find that Vista runs better with a good video card, even if you don’t need
it, it helps. Also if you were building a desktop computer, don’t skimp on
the sound card, as Vista has a whole new sound engine as far as being able
to control each application sound levels and other things.
I have installed Vista, on a laptop that is 3 years old, it only had 512 meg
of ram, and ran vista fine. Just that it was slow to boot, and took time to
load anything up. Which could be fixed with more ram.
Just a rule of thumb with Vista, If you go cheap it will be slow, if you
invest a little extra and get better hardware, it will run better.
Anyway. Hope this helps.

Because Vista rely very heavily with the video, even with jaws disabling the
arrow features and such, if you got a cheap low score rating on the video,
your system will spend more time thinking on graphics then any other task
hence lag. Trust me, I built a new rig just last week, and used it’s
onboard S3 Basic Video, while installing Vista. After installing it had a
score rating of 1.0 on graphics for gaming and arrow feature. Yet, when I
installed the new Video card that I purchased. It went up to 5.6 rating.
Keep in mind, when it was a rating of 1.0, it took 6 minutes for Vista to
load up to the log in, once I installed the Video card, which was a geforce
8600 with 512 it didn’t take but 10 seconds to load to log in screen.
That’s the reason I say make sure it’s got a high rating at least 4.0.
The laptop I’m using has a Nvidea 7300 Go Video graphics with 128mb of
dedecated memory which is not shared with the main memory which makes a big
difference also.
I could go on and on. But, I think you see what I’m saying. Don’t skimp
out of the video when dealing with Vista, even tho you might can’t see the
video, doesn’t mean that vista doesn’t.

If you are planning on getting a new laptop, that has vista, make sure it
has at lest 2 or more gig of ram minimal and at least a intel 2 duo or AMD
x2 core processor.
Also, if possible ask to check for the scores in the demo laptop, as this
will give you a idea of how good is the laptop. Tell them to go under
performance under control panel and there will be the performance. They
should be able to see the score given to each category. The highest score
is 5.9 so with that in mind, the lower the score for each the slower the
laptop will be. Graphics is the main one I would be looking at, if it’s got
anything lower the a 4.0 rating I would not touch it unless it’s the only
one they have that you can affored.
Also most laptops do not come with a Hybrid Hard drive. Which helps vista
run faster and saves battery power. Mine did not come with this, as I
purchased it for newegg for 99 dollars, a 160 gig Samsung with 256 MB flash
drive.
Any way hope this helps. If need more information let me know.

Hello,
Just a quick question.
I am thinking about purchasing a new laptop, but it has Vista on it. What is
your take on it working with Jaws. Does it work easily and was it hard to
learn?
Thank you!
Angie
