SSD drives use
memory-card like technology to to bring
faster disk access times to your computer
system. Typically you can expect
between 25% and 50% faster disk responses
(and thus boot-up times and file access)
from an SSD disk than you would get from a
standard hard disk drive.
If you are
considering an SSD drive, we would recommend
installing the operating system and programs
onto the SSD drive and either use a second
SSD drive for data or opt for a standard
hard disk drive but the downside of this is
that accessing your personal data files will
be marginally slower - but all your programs
will run a lot faster.

* For maximum
display quality on CAD/CAM systems using using software such as Autocad,
Solidworks etc. we highly
investing in a Quadro graphics card.
From our
own experiences, the differences in image
quality and the possibilities available (3D
rotation, shading and shadowing etc.) are
incomparable against a standard onboard or
dedicated gaming graphics card.
