Yo! Me too - but just a correction - Ye olde CAD tower workstation running XP-Pro 3D CAD-CAM Solidworks v10 is still wickedly fast.I used to hate computers. I used 'em 'cause I had to. They didn't do what I needed them to do, so I had to make 'em do what I needed. They were slow, awkward, and difficult.
Never imagined we would go from 10W to 180W power supplies - how inefficient can you get for everyday workflow..? Vast regression IMHOIf we look back over computer history, we've had some vast improvements in the tech. Some of it in ways I'd have never imagined.
Do you mind waiting 2.5 secs (old HP) or less on old Dell i7...?My old girl (2008) is probably too old for this tech but after 823 hours run time I am well pleased with the speed – LO Writer loads in 2.5sec with Gimp taking 4.5sec – obviously small fry in your workflow but still noticeable over old HDD.
Don't amount to a hill of beans - in a day..
