it is the way of the future however, I had to stay with 32 bit because of
some driver issues. Not too long ago I had some problems and went back to
the shop that built my system. I was going to have 64 installed and was
talked out of it because of the driver issues. My wife has a
dyesublimitation printer that there are no 64 bit drivers. Since jaws works
with both 64 and 32 bit this made it easy for me. I can easily go the 64
bit way in the future. the ms authorization is for both operating systems.
The shop would just burn me a 64 bit install and there would be no
additional charge. They only recommend 64 if you are purchasing all new
hardware, printers etc. or using more than 3 gb of memory for some heavy
games.

Well, yeah, that's what I was thinking too, it looks like 64 bit is the way
of the future, but I just didn't say it because it's her choise in the end
on who to really listen to, but not only that. It's her choise in the end on
what porformence she's after. So, I just stuck to giving her the facts in a
simple to understand and I did tell her about the FScast on which Jonathan
and Eric talk about the difference, and this way she will get the info for
her self and deside. That way she makes the choise that ereally makes her
happy.

Totally disagree, there is nothing wrong with 64 bit and why not try and
keep up with technology if you can.
I have been using a 64 bit windows 7 with jaws for two years now and I love
it.

Hi Kathy.
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:

Good morning,
I am using the latest Jjaws. Different are telling me to go with the
64 bit laptops, that 32 are fading out. Will the standard jaws work
with the 64 bit laptops. What is the difference between 32 or 64 bit
units.
Kathy
