Hi there,It depends on what you want to do with this new computer. The following is just my general recommendations:
* I recommend that you get at least a desktop with the following: * CPU: at least Intel Core II Duo at 1.66 GHz. * Memory, at least 512 MB RAM (1 GB is recommended). * Hard drive: at least 80 GB hard drive (120 GB is recommended).* You can use either XP or Vista. For XP, I recommend XP Pro. For Vista, I recommend Vista Business. For laptops, I recommend that you get a mid-range laptop (between $600 to $800) made from Toshiba, Sony, HP and others. Since you have JAWS 5.1, a best choice for you might be the following:
* CPU: Intel Core II Duo* Windows XP Professional (JAWS 8.0.1163 and higher should be used with Vista)
* 80 GB hard drive * 512 MB of RAM. Cheers, Joseph

Hi. I am in need for a new computer quite soon because I am
running
an old one and running out of space. I am wondering what people recommend to get these days. I cannot afford to upgrade JAWS as well and am running 5.1. Is vista okay? What type of memory should I consider? How big of a hard drive? Any other thoughts? Thanks so much.
Lovette
