Hi Sara,

I've tried 2gb as well but because Jaws was sluggish, I went to 4gb but no
go.  Mind you, wineyes had no probs both using 2 or 4gb.  The version of
jaws I'm using is 9.

I'm only guessing here and totally don't know what I'm talking about, but 
I'd actually suggest trying 2gb ram. I heard or read somewhere that 32-bit 
os's can't really use 4gb anyway. Don't know if this could cause trouble but

maybe worth a try in a test virtual machine? Also, the version of jaws might

affect it?
I love and have both but sometimes it's a matter of what people bought first

and can afford etc.
Sara
