I suggest the more RAM the better. Also, a 64 bit OS. It processes the
information a lot faster. Also, a good hardrive. 250 or higher. I don't know
what to suggest.
Hope this works

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

Hi Will,
What type of computer are you looking for – a desktop, netbook, a laptop,
etc.? If we do know your preferences, then others will be able to find some
useful configuration for you.
Cheers,

Subject: Buying a new system
Hi All,
I'm looking for advice with buying a new computer system, specifically on
hardware compatibility and adaptive software.
I'm a student with low vision, and tend to use JFW and Zoomtext in tandem,
often with Kurzweil 1000 running as well. I'm starting my Master's degree this
fall, and need a system that can run the adaptive software simultaneously, as
well as a few open browser windows and probably 2 or more open pdf files as
well (my work is very research-intensive). In the past I've had problems that
seemed to indicate that my computer had issues with all the various open
windows that were running, and so I'm looking for any advice on hardware to
avoid, minimum specs or suggested hardware configurations that could handle the
kind of work I'll be doing.
Thanks in advance,
Will Cummings
