K, I was faced with the same dilemma. I was running Dragon Naturally Speaking 8.0, when I encounter a problem with it on my computer. I could not get it to work properly. I deleted it from the computer and tried to reinstall it. It didn't work. I purchased a 9.0 version, only to find that my computer did not have enough RAM, and the processor wasn't fast enough. My husband looked into purchasing more RAM, but by the time he came back from the store, he had just purchased a new computer. Of course, I had no problem loading the 9.0 on this computer. Both computers are laptop computers. I guess this isn't much information on answering your question, but I was just offering my experience.
