Hi Will,
I heard it has been fixed somewhat. Personally, I'm not into graphics cards
- graphics is not my research field. I'm more towards system specs, mostly
hardware stuff and software accessibility. People say that NVIDIA cards
works good, as well as other ones out there. On my laptop, I have an Intel
graphics card which JfW handles well.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hi Joseph,
Thanks for your speedy replies. In the past I've heard people talk about
JFW not liking certain video and sound cards. Is this an issue anymore?

Hi,
If you are looking for a laptop, try ones from companies such as HP,
toshiba, Gateway and so on. In my view, I would say a modest processor
(around 2 to 2.4 GHz), a modest RAM (around 2 to 4 GB) and a good sized hard
drive size (around 250 to 400 GB) and so forth. As for operating system, try
Windows 7 Home Premium or Professional. As for choice between 32-bit or
64-bit, it is really up to you.
Hope this helps.

Hey Joseph,
Haha...good point. I'm primarily looking at laptops, though if there's a
better option in desktops, I wouldn't rule that out either.
Thanks,
Will
