Hello John the only thing I can suggest is if you are running Windows 7 professional there will be some more services available. Also text to speech programs are happier when there is more RAM. without the 3 GB limit that XP had, I would suggest going for at least 6 GB of RAM; 8 would be better.
If you get a video card this will help. Video cards have their own memory and if you don't use the on board one, then the video is not sharing the RAM with the rest of the applications. Personally getting a video card is not a high priority, since I don't do any gaming that relies on high quality graphics or run any programs that need to perform a lot of complex math calculations. And as for the latter, the processor plays a bigger role any way.

I'm going to be using the latest version of Windoweyes. Is there anything I need to know in particular -- type of fideo or sound card, other advice, etc, that will make things go easier? I'm going to be running a 64-bit machine. Thanks. John Riehl If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
