Debbie,
I recently changed my work laptop.
Unbeknowing to me I bought a 64 bit machine.
Our IT support said 32bit were still readily available
and if I was buying again I would have bought 32 bit.
check out the software you want to load as not all will work with 64 bit
especially legacy stuff you may have.
for example, my scanner did not have a 64bit driver and the voice I use with
supanova was the original Orpheus which again does not work with 64 bit.
A couple of issues that I would not have had if 32 bit was bought.
You may have no issues but worth finding out before you buy.
Regards
Colin

Thank you very much Ibrahim
Will JAWS 12 standard run on XP and Win 7 home premium do you know? I
currently have XP home machines but I really think I should get a win 7
machine.
Thank you
Debbie

Hi Debby.
Essentially from a home user's perspective, there is very little if any
noticeable difference between 32 and 64 bit windows. Most laptops and
desktop computers come with 64 bit windows simply because most machines now
have more than 3 gigabytes of memory, the maximum addressable space in 32
bit versions of Windows, in other words the maximum Windows can use. When
preparing to install JAWS, you need to ensure you're installing the 64 bit
version of the software and you can get the latest download of this from the
Freedom Scientific website. Office 2003 should work OK, though I've never
installed it on a 64 bit operating system, it is a very old piece of
software after all.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Good morning all
I am considering buying a windows 7 lap top but the only ones I can see that
I like seem to be 64 bit. Can someone please explain what the difference is
between 64 and 32 bit computers, will it run with the standard JAWS 12
software and can I still use office 2003 on it.
Thank you very much for any help
Regards
Debbie
