Yes, I believe that you can still find XP Home. If you get VISTA you will need at least 2 gig of ram.....

But, I believe you won't be able to run Vista, which you'll most likely get on a new computer, without upgrading to JAWS 8. As far as I've heard, Dell is the only company offering XP on some of their computers. I don't know if you could get XP is you had a computer built.

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.
