Hi Mich,

I'm curious...

The price you quoted, is that for simply the software required to upgrade, or is that the price including hardware?

Only reason I ask is that you can find some excellent deals on sites like Tiger Direct, or Amazon for full computers running the same software, but with better hardware.

I'm with Rick on this one. If you're going to pay that price, might as well go for an entirely new computer, then upgrading an old one that may not be able to handle the computing requirements of a 64 bit system.

there's also other issues you may not have taken into account, such as software you may not be able to run on a 64 bit machine. Granted, Windows 7 has a 64 bit emulator, but it's simply not the same, and other software licences may not function properly at all in a 64 bit environment.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] if I upgrade my desc top to windows 7 64 bit do I need to purchis another version of jaws?

Hi all. I just got a quote to find out how much it would cost for me to upgrade my desc top running windows xp to windows 7. now my question is. Right now I am running windows xp 32 bit. the quote that the people at the pc store gave me was it would cost 309 to upgrade back up and make my pc desc top run windows 7 64 bit. now my question is. the jaws that I have are all for windows 32 bit systems. except I have sma's for jaws 12, 13 and 14. now I am wondering would I need to purchase another license to run jaws under a 64 bit os? many thanks. from Mich.
