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.

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.
