Know How... 231

Building a budget PC for Computer Aided Drafting, a second monitor for on the go, and watch us fail at assembling the URB-E Electronic Scooter!

SSD Help

• David Ramos: "Hi guys...thanks for the amazing show...I saw the episode where you talked about ssd and I'm trying to build a CAD pc. I was wondering whether the 850 Evo is a good option??? Also I would like to know if you have the optimal specs to build a budget CAD pc....Many thanks!!!"

Here's the Samsung Evo 850

CAD system priorities are different than a gaming or video editing machine. You're not accessing HUGE files all the time, so while a SSD will definitely help make the system feel faster, there are higher priorities

1. Memory (4GB Minimum, 8GB Standard, 16GB Recommended, 32GB = Happy Padre)
2. CPU/GPU (This is a tie because different software suites will or will not take full advantage of a GPU. Check with your software and make sure you have a compatible GPU.)
3. Storage Speed (SSD)

I need a 2nd Monitor!

• Daniel Casciato "Padre mentioned on Windows Weekly episode 471 that one of his best tech purchases was a portable accessory screen for his laptop. This allowed him to use a dual screen setup on the go. 2 questions...
  1. what is this screen?
  2. Can it be used with a stylus for digital notes, specifically as an input for OneNote?"
