[nfbcs] Graphic Card

[Glen Gordon]

In terms of JAWS, screen resolution and video cards were particularly important in the days of Windows 95 and XP. From Windows 7 onwards,  these  don't normally play any sort of role.

For ZoomText in particular, More memory, a faster bus and more cores on the GPU all dramatically affect performance. i.e. Go for the best bideo card they'll offer you.

It is my understanding that the monitor must be set to a certain resolution for Jaws to do what it needs to do correctly.  Now, I currently use N V D A and have not used Jaws in a while.  However, I don't believe any modern day graphics card is better for a screen reader than any other.  I could be way off on this.
