Hi Chris, Yes, I've run Jaws on a little as 128mb, and a 733mhz processor, but when I started asking for more resources with cd burning, or extracting for example Jaws suffered. The thing to keep in mind is that Jaws will respond differently on every machine, since no 2 machines are exactly alike. I am running Jaws 8.0 on a machine with almost 2gb of installed ram, a 3.3ghz processor and a video chip that requires 128mb of the memorey, but the front-side bus speed is slow which creates a bottle-neck in the resources that definitely affects Jaws. Similarly, I am running the same version on another machine with less resources, but I experience better overall performance from Jaws. So, sometimes with respect to Jaws,memorey is everything, and memorey is nothing. smile It's always a good idea to have sufficient memorey, for the o/s, and applications, and whenever possible a video card with it's own memorey. Jaws does rely heavily on video, and memorey.

My copy of JAWS 8.0.423 demo is very responsive on my machine running Windows XP Home SP2 with 256 MB of RAM.
