With a quad core CPU and 2GB of RAM, this machine is a lightning fast workstation.
This machine can handle some serious numbercrunching. Could easily be upgraded with a discrete video card (such as those found in the following recommendations) to be a very good CAD machine. This machine would be very adequate for research purposes, where numbercrunching power is the key.
