MessageHello Ted 

With this dual core processor computer, do you find that jaws runs alot quicker 
or for that matter that all the things on your new computer run alot quicker or 
get done alot faster, compared to your single processor computer?  and just 
curious, what speed is your computer, 1.6, 1.8, 2.0 or higher? and how much ram 
do you have?  If you can get back to me, would really appreciate it.  Thanks.

  I don't know about JAWS having a processor all to itself, but those dual-core 
processors are slick.  the main advantage, as you implied, appears to be 
performing cycle-intensive tasks, such as virus checking, without crippling 
your system.  I've used one for just a few days shy of a year,and couldn't be 
happier.

    Has anybody tried running JAWS 8 with RealSpeak voices running, on a 
computer with a Duel Core processor. For those who don't understand what they 
are, they are just the new type of processor, which have two processors in one, 
meaning your computer wont slow down when doing background tasks such as virus 
checking.

    I fured this might make a big improvements to us JAWS users as we are 
always running JAWS which is quite intensive, on top of the application we are 
actualy trying to access.

    Would it mean JAWS would almost have a processor all to itself while you 
are running other stuff you are accessing.
