Any PC that is a year old or older is probably going to work. It's mostly very new hardware that isn't supported -- yet. I guess it would be a huge bummer to get a machine and have it turn out to be one of the very few that is not supported. But you're probably more likely to get a defective machine off ebay than you are to get one that has an unsupported sound card. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel Dalton" To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux."
