Dragon 9 on old notebook
Submitted by Martin Markoe on Tue, 08/15/2006 - 21:31.
I just installed Dragon version 9 professional on my three-year-old IBM ThinkPad T40. It has a 1.6 GHz Centrino processor and 1 GB RAM. This message is being dictated on the notebook.
Dragon 9 seems to be working just as fast and accurately as on our dual core processor office workstations. The enrollment was actually made with a Sennheiser MD431II and Andrea USB sound pod on one of the dual core processor workstations. I read the Dave Barry medium difficulty story and imported my added words and macros from version 8. The enrollment was manually moved to this ThinkPad after installing Dragon 9 professional. All I did was rerun the audio setup using theBoom microphone which is connected to the well insulated SoundMax sound chip built into the IBM ThinkPad.
To this point I have not made a correction. The only thing I can say is that before installing Dragon on this ThinkPad I restored the ThinkPad to its original factory configuration from the hidden partition for doing this (sure beats reformatting the hard drive).
As long as I am willing to continue using windows XP on this computer, I see no compelling reason to get a new one has all my business programs work just fine.

Marty, That's exactly the
Marty,
That's exactly the same model/memory/CPU of my ThinkPad. DNS8 Preferred runs quite well, though I don't think quite as briskly as on my other 3 GHz desktop.
I just imported my old user and DNS converted it to v9. I still haven't bothered to read a story. If it got any better, I don't think I would notice.
When you say "original factory configuration," do you mean nothing but OS and everything you installed gone?

Everything installed (and picked up unknowingly) is gone. The factory restoration is on a hidden partition. You access it at startup by hitting the blue Access IBM button.
