Realtek is a sound card. -- Chris Hallsworth E-mail: christopherh40@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx MSN: ch9675@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Yahoo!

I've always had good results with the creative labs equipment. My laptop uses something called Sigma Tel Audio. It came with my Dell Laptop and I know absolutely nothing about it beyond the name and that it seems to work quite well with Jaws. At least, I haven't had any issues with eloquence or the realspeak voices that come with JFW 10 nor was there any trouble with the scansoft sapi5 version of these voices. 8 gbs? Wow, that's a lot. You know, you might look into seeing if Apple's natural voices would work well with jaws and adding it to your pc. It's supposed to be much more human-sounding than the sapi 5 stuff out there. They reportedly read by paragraph instead of by sentence making for a much more seamless experience akin to artificial-sounding voices like the ones in Eloquence. I've never heard it myself but it sounds exciting and very ram-intensive. The thing is even supposed to mimic pauses brought on by breathing. I don't know whether to be impressed or creeped out by that one but, I imagine I'd want to get my hands on it if it turned out that Jaws could be made to work with it in some operating system like Windows 7.

There are things to watch out for. Certain video cards work better with jaws than others. The sound card and the mother board aren't as big a deal as the vid card. Go to the freedom scientific website and do a search for video card issues to get the latest info. The nvdia cards didn't used to work well with jaws but now, thankfully since my pc's came with them, that problem is under control. I'm sure there are others still out there who aren't though and it's worth looking into so you don't build a machine that isn't fully accessible to you. I'm going to also recommend 2 gigs of ram to you. You may want to buy things like natural-sounding voices for Jaws to use and the more the merrier is the rule with ram when it comes to big files like that. It'll also do you good if you plan to install things like OpenBook and work it in conjunction with Jaws, I.E. scanning stuff directly into word and with openbook and then manipulating it with your word processor using Jaws. I got the 2 gig recommendation from someone at Freedom during a technical support call and it's been good advice, so, I'll pass it on to you. Have fun building your pc and I hope this helps.
