I'm sure it doesn't hurt. The phrasing (where pauses are inserted,
occasional bursts of speed--is still a little quirky, a trait which
seems to vary from voice to voice, and which say-all setting you happen
to use in a particular app. However, I think (and this may be the power
of suggestion) I can notice slight differences between my office and
home machine, with the latter being a trifle smoother.

My thought was that the RealSpeak voices might be nice and fluid
if they have a lot more processor power.

Sounds likely doesn't it? Right now, until it becomes
old hat, and is replaced by something even hotter, most manufacturers
are really hyping this feature, and it's almost certainly prominently
mentioned on the machine's features list. Of coursed, both processors
share the same sliver of silicon. This looks to be the wave of the
future, as machines with multiple multi-core processors, and chips with
4 processors, start to appear.

Hi,
I hope this isn't a silly question.
I have a Dell 5150 with a 3.4 gigahertz Pentium
4 processor and am not sure whether it's dual-core or not. I looked in
the device manager and notice two processor entries. Does this mean that
the CPU is a dual-core?

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.
