[JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Good morning, I am using the latest Jjaws. Different are telling me to go with the 64 bit laptops, that 32 are fading out. Will the standard jaws work with the 64 bit laptops. What is the difference between 32 or 64 bit units. Kathy For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Hi Kathy. 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: mobeeniq...@gmail.com Mo. On 14/01/2012 14:12, Kathy Pingstock wrote: Good morning, I am using the latest Jjaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
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. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mobeen Iqbal Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 9:26 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop Hi Kathy.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Cathy, FS does not charge more for a 64 bit version of Jaws. However, they do charge for Jaws professional, and you May and I say may have to get that version of jaws with windows 7, but I'm not too sure of that. Call FS at, 1, 800, 444/4443, and the guys in sales can tell you. But they do not charge more for a 64 bit version of jaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
There is no difference in cost for JAWS 32 or 64-bit. They both come on the disk and your computer will install the correct one automatically. If you download JAWS from the website, you must choose the correct one. Just be careful about the version of Windows you get as some of them require the more expensive version of JAWS. I have Windows 7 Home Premium and it does not require the more expensive version of JAWS.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
There are indeed different versions of jaws for 32bit and 64bit windows but the price is the same. Different prices make a difference not with 32bit or 64bit but with which version of the operating system is being used, i.e. whehter jaws standard (for home) or professional systems is required. These exist in both 32bit and 64bit flavors. I am still on xp myself but I think I heard that the highest version of win 7 that will work wiht the standard license of jaws is Home premium. this is to be taken into account when buying the computer with an operating system preinstalled. For most users, the Home Premium version of windows should be all they ever need. As for a hardware suggestion for a laptop, Chris and I both bought Asus laptops that were affordable and which are very rugged and come with a full-sized keyboard including numpad. We bought ours without operating system and are running xp on them each but they came with 2 gigs of RAM (expandable to 4 gigs) and are capable of running win 7 in both 32bit or 64bit. hth Doris At 02:25 PM 1/14/2012 +, you wrote: Hi Kathy.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
OK I will attempt to clear up this debate over 32 bit and 64 bit systems. JAWS will work with either operating system as it offers a separate version at no extra cost. The only cost variable is home verses pro. So if you have a license for JAWS home then it will work with all 32 or 64 bit Windows operating systems so long as they are home versions. If you are authorized for JAWS pro then you can use any version of Windows no matter bit or type.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Oh yeah, that's something else I forgot to say, yeah the standerd JAWS will work. They did an FScast where they explain it, and yeah, all the companies don't sell you 32 bit units any more. But yeah, do what you want, but I for one went 64 bit, you'll be able to use mor RAM, and there fore your laptop will handle more programs at once. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kathy Pingstock Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 9:13 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop Good morning, I am using the latest Jjaws.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking too, it looks like 64 bit is the way of the future, but I just didn't say it because it's her choise in the end on who to really listen to, but not only that. It's her choise in the end on what porformence she's after.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
it is the way of the future however, I had to stay with 32 bit because of some driver issues. Not too long ago I had some problems and went back to the shop that built my system. I was going to have 64 installed and was talked out of it because of the driver issues. My wife has a dyesublimitation printer that there are no 64 bit drivers. Since jaws works with both 64 and 32 bit this made it easy for me. I can easily go the 64 bit way in the future. the ms authorization is for both operating systems. The shop would just burn me a 64 bit install and there would be no additional charge. They only recommend 64 if you are purchasing all new hardware, printers etc. or using more than 3 gb of memory for some heavy games. -Original Message- From: Hamit Campos Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 12:22 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking too, it looks like 64 bit is the way of the future, but I just didn't say it because it's her choise in the end on who to really listen to, but not only that.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Kathy, Well, if you mean the Standard Jaws the home version, then it will work with Win 7 Home Premium. You need the Pro version of Jaws to work with Win 7 Professional or Ultimate. As far as 32 or 64-bit versions, you will need to download the 64-bit version from the internet, or if you have a Jaws 11 or higher DVD, it will recognize whether you have the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the operating system and install the correct version of Jaws automatically. In most cases, 32-bit programs will work on a 64-bit system, they are installed in the Programs86 folder. However, since screen readers are so intertwined and married to the operating system, both Win-Eyes and Jaws require that you run the appropriate version with the operating system, i.e. 32-bit Jaws with a 32-bit OS or 64-bit Jaws with a 64-bit OS. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

Well incase your PC friend didn't know. You can not buy a true 32bit computer now. From dual core on up they are all 64 bit computers. Now you can run a 32bit op or a 64 bit op. That is about the only choice you have to make there. If you do find a true 32 bit system with a p4 CPU.

Re: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop
Jaws offers us either 32 bit or 64 bit versions of Jaws at no additional cost. I just bought a new sony laptop with 6 gigs of ram and 64 bit windows 7 homepremium. My processor is a Intel turbo boost I5 2430M processor which is available on most new computers today. I understand that some programs written for 32 bit windows may not work or work well on a 64 bit machine but I up graded to office 2010 business version when I purchased this computer. John in sunny southwest florida With my current configuration of this lapto, it is lightening fast and I think I have the ability to use it for a number of years. -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Kathy Pingstock Sent: Saturday, January 14, 2012 9:13 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] in the market for a new laptop Good morning, I am using the latest Jjaws.
