[nfbcs] Single or Dual Core Processor

[Peter Donahue]

Good morning everyone,

    I'd be curious to hear what everyone's experiences with dual core 
processors has been compared to computers with a single core processor 
particularly where assistive technology is concerned. We talked to a friend 
of ours last night who now owns a PC with a dual-core processor and told us 
that JAWS and the other assistive technology she uses works far better than 
it did on her machine that had a single-core processor. If it were up to me 
Mary's new machine would have a quad core processor as will my new machine 
when I porches it hopefully next year. Maybe that's processor over-kill but 
as more applications become more system resource-intensive if you plan ahead 
you're one step ahead of the technology.
