Hi Andy. on this subject I would say that 2 GB of ram is likely to be a
good amount to go for. a 300 GB drive should also be fine. it may well be
worth purchasing a 300 gb or greater disk for backup purposes. This plugs
into a USB port.
I know of no issues of compatibility with jaws and larger monitors.
If you want a quietish PC then it may be a good idea not to insist on the
best quality graphics card. a budget job costing about £50 should do fine.
More powerful graphics cards that play recent 3D games such as Doom, call of
duty etc. require a more power-humgry graphics card which is likely to
require a larger fan. Passive cooling systems with no fan exist for these
kind of cards but they are very expensive.
regards
Graham

Hi Andy,
> 300 500 GB of memory.
Are you trying to compete against the proposed National
Database? (Smile)
I'd have thought 3 - 5 Gigabytes of RAM would be quite a
luxury!
