    I was looking at buying a Precision M90 cause I was getting a pretty good deal on it, but that deal has since fallen through. So now I'm looking at getting a W3J (I like the price, size, and specs). I know that CAD will run on anything (it runs pretty fine on my computer). But I'm really wondering how SolidEdge/Solid Works will run on the x1600. I'm assuming it will be more than fine, seeing as the x1600 is quite a GPU for that size computer, and it performs very well. For right now, I am not doing much 3d modeling (just in my second year of engineering school) but I'm wondering how it will perform later on when we start having to do heavier modeling things. If anyone has any experience with this, I would appreciate some help. Thanks.

    The X1600 is a powerful graphics card, so I think Solid Works should run fine.
