Chris D,
As to your question of Office 2003 on a 64-bit machine, that would be a good
question to pose to the Microsoft web site. I'll bet they have already had
that question posed to them long ago.

Hi Chris,
Please can I just ask a question?
You just wrote:

[ChD]
I know that some of the plain old 32-bits programs can still run under
64-bits OSes but not all of them.
For instance, the 32-bits version of J2RE, (Java 2 Runtime Environment)
can run under a 64-bits windows. It seemed to be recommended for people
who need the java access bridge.
Then, the first obvious example of 32-bits programs which cannot run
under 64-bits windows which comes to me is jaws.
So, here is my question:
Let's suppose I have a 32-bits application or suite, (Microsoft Office
2003 for instance). How can I determine whether this application or
suite
will run or not on a 64-bits windows?
Many thanks in advance. Have a nice day. Chris D

Personally stay away from computers running Vista. Even with the maximum
RAM
it's still sluggish. I would get a PC with Windows 7. It should have at
least a 1GHZ processor and at least 2GB of RAM. Also consider going 64
bit
unless you require programs or drivers that are not available in 64 bit.
Good luck in your research.

Hi Listers, I would love to hear specs and software advise for buying a
new
computer. I will be using jaws 11 and right now have windows xp pro.
What kind of hardware specs should be the minimum and maxium?
Which software program up grades should I have or stay away from? I
also
use MS 2003.
Any information would be great.
Thanks!
