Jaws works with 64 bit but you must install the 64-bit version. All
MP3's will work in 64 bit. Most programs that you run in current 32 bit
will also work in 64 bit. There may be a few that you will need to
operate in 32-bit mode under Windows 7, but I have found that not to be
a significant problem. Your address book is another issue, that depends
on what Email program you use. 64 bit is the wave of the future and we
are all pretty much forced to go along with it or be left behind. You
would not want to buy a new computer at this point that was anything
less than Windows 7, 64 bit. The specs of the one you are considering
look fine to me, but perhaps more knowledgeable people can give their
opinions..

Hi all. Well the subject pretty much says it all.
I am currently using a desktop 32 bit computer running Windows XP.
I am now contemplating purchasing a laptop 64 bit machine and am wondering if
Jaws 12 will work with it.
I am also wondering what the advantages are of using 64 versus 32 bit.
Will i be able to transfer my addressbook to the new computer though the laptop
will not have Outlook Express?
Will my mp3's created with the 32 bit machine work with the new computer?
I would probably also get Windows 7 ®professional edition as opposed to home
premium.
If interested, here are the specs on the computer I'm thinking of purchasing.
Thanks.
