Hi,
Many thanks to youand every one. thedifficult issue is not just figuring
outwhat workwith JAWS "now" with reading email but planning far enough
aheadto think of the impact of a more
resource-hungry JAWS and more massively resource-hungry aps coming along
later.
If any one out there is having problems coppying dvds or using
high-end stuff or using multiple applications simultaneously with a 2.4
Athlon or Intel, please let people know.
I am not trying to pick from among chips brands but to see if "there
might be a middle ground" for optimal minimal performance or chip "power"
between a 2 chip and a 3 chip--like a 2.5.
