List, I am looking at sony laptops. In recent years, I have not opted for dedicated video cards, faster processors or hard drives. Just purchased units at local best buy etc that seemed to offer good value . This time I am considering buying direct and selecting components. I use jaws V12, and do not store video or pictures but do a lot with the internet, documents, spread sheets and outlook for E-mail. 1. Does jaws work better with a dedicated video card as it did years ago when that was the option of choice. 2. Do the intel processors with turbo boost improve the performance of jaws 3. Does moving to a faster hard drive improve the performance of jaws. 4. With windows 7 home premium, does paying up for 8 megs of ram warrant the additional cost of $$160 to go from 4 megs to 8 megs. Can purchase 2 megs of additional for $80? thank you for any input. John
