Thanks Teddy:
Your system sounds killer, that is US slang for very good.. I'm looking
and reading. Perhaps I'll have one built by someplace like Dell or Tiger
Direct with some good components in the key places like the Processor, a flavor
of core duo, a good MotherBoard when I figure out what a good one means, a good
power supply and anything else you guys mention as important like on board
caching or, as you mentioned, a SoundBlaster sound card etc...
Have a good, is it afternoon over there? Haven't checked world time for your
time zone yet.
See you on the flip side Teddy.

Well, not exactly.
The configuration is:
Intel Core 2 Duo at 3 GHz processor
2 GB RAM memory at 1066 MHz
150 GB hard disk SATA2 at 10000 RPM
NVidia video card (I don't remember the type)
Creative Sound Blaster XTreme Gamer sound card
TV Tunner (I don't remember the type)
2.1 speakers with some effects and remote control
I don't remember the type of motherboard, but it is a pretty good one.
The computer was assembled by a very small firm in my city and it cost me
aproximately 1500 USD.
(But I live in Europe, Romania)

Hi Teddy:
What brand? Is it one of the main PC providers? IE Dell, HP etc...
Did it cost an arm and leg?

Hi,
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo at 3 GHz with 2 GB RAM and a SATA2 hard disk
at 10000 RPM and it works great!
I could run 64 bit versions of Windows on it, but I don't know if I would
find all the software I need for 64 bit, so I am using a common Windows XP Pro
for 32 bit and it works fine.
Of course, if the OS is 32 bit, all the software will run fine as they
were on a 32 bit processor.
So go ahead and get it.
I had to choose between a Core 2 Quad at 2.4 GHz and a Core 2 Duo at 3
GHz because they had a very close price but I've chosen the Core 2 Duo finally.

Hi Gang:
Getting a new DeskTop computer. WE won't run 64 bit, don't know about
JAWS.
Would like a little power like 2 gig memory at least and a fairly fast
processor etc...
I'll be running Windows XP Pro, Visual Studio Pro and later VS 2008.
Any recommendations on either a newer computer model or an Intel
Processor you have used with JAWS or WindowEyes?
What about the
Intel® CoreT2 Duo Processors.
One of the computers used an Intel with Intel® Extended Memory 64
Technology which mentioned something about 32 bit and 64 bit but what have you
actually worked with? One fellow at GW just said WindowEyes won't run on a 64
bit machine but that doesn't tell me what it will run on. Everything with any
power seems to have 32 and 64 bit mentioned so I thought I'd better check
around before plopping down the greenbacks!
Thanks for any help:
