Hi everyone: I'm starting a new medical transcription job and finding myself in need of a new computer. I will be running a transcription platform, which handles downloading and playing of audio plus the word processing part of transcription of that same audio. The minimum requirements are for a core 2 duo processor with 3 gigs of ram 32 bit, or 4 gigs with 64 bit. I realize running jaws ups these requirements somewhat if I don't want to have lags and sluggishness.
Can I get any suggestions for just how much processor speed and ram I should spring for? Should I just go all out and get as much power and memory as I can afford? Is anybody using JAWS with a solid state drive, and what's the performance there like? Any configurations I should avoid? Should I go desktop or laptop? I have JAWS 13 and will be using the Windows 7 home version. Thanks in advance and thanks for having me on the list.
