Re: [orca-list] Processor or memory: which matters most with screen readers?

["Dan Miner" <dminer84 yahoo com>]

Without details of the general "work" load you'll be doing, it is hard to
answer something like this.  I'm a software developer and I find a quad-core
with 16GB a bit restrictive.  *smile*.

On today's general use applications of office suite, web browsing, and
simple media consumption, I believe a dual core running at 3ish GHz with 8GB
RAM and a SSD will be pleasant to use.  This also assumes the user typically
closes apps when done.  There is plenty of room for the apps and screen
reader with enough multitasking ability to keep things moving well.

Once you get into creation of large media or software projects, things
change pretty quickly.  But the solutions vary depending on the tasks, so I
really can't explain further without writing a big ol' article that will be
outdated next week.  *smile*

I understand that having a slow or old processor or having an insignificant
amount of RAM is definitely going to cause problems. However, does there
seem to be a sweet spot in which the machine has adequate processing power
and plenty of memory to be able to run orca and screen readers?


Thank you,
