Here's the thing though, if she buys one, there's no choise as far as I know, all of them are 64 bit now, you can't get 32 bit any more. I mean, when you customize one on dell.com, there's no 32 bit option anymore. You can try and get a 32 bit one if you want, but one point, like was said here, if the laptop only has really 3 gigs of mememory, than that's fine. Yep, it doesn't see that fourth gig. If you want to use all 4 gigs, you'll need to go 64 bit. As far as I know, JAWS is JAWS no mater what version you get. I don't think they caost any more or less then each other. In fact, they shouldn't, they both come on the same DVD and it just depends what operating system you load it on on which one loads.

I certainly would not go with 64bit. The amount of complaints we've had about it! a friend of mine runs a PC repair business and people find it a lot more convenient to downgrade to 32bit. the reality is that if your pc only has 4GB or less of memory, 32bit windows is fine. if it has 4GB or more, then they recommend 64bit but in reality 32bit can work on windows with up to 16GB of ram using PAE or physical address extention technology. this probably isn't the place to discuss 32bit verses 64bit, but i've a feeling that you're paying extra for jaws 64bit, i haven't checked out the latest prices but i do know that there are separate versions of jaws for 32bit systems and 64bit systems. I hope that helps, feel free to write me off list if you need more clarification at: [email protected] Mo. On 14/01/2012 14:12, Kathy Pingstock wrote: > Good morning, > > I am using the latest Jjaws.
