Hi Jim, Well, the processor speed of your computers is fast enough to run Win 7, but you don't have enough memory on either one. Windows 7 requires a bare minimum of 1GB of ram for the operating system and at least 2 GB or more if you want to run Microsoft Office, Jaws, Internet Explorer, etc.
Anyway, NVDA comes with a free synth called ESpeak. Like you said it sounds robotic, reminds me of one of the older hardware synths, but there are other options. I myself use Sapi 5 voices like AT&T Crystal, AT&T Mike, or the Cepstral voices since they are much more human sounding than ESpeak. Cheers!
