After 2 emails without any answer I gave up and started calling three small companies that build custom made computers. I explained to them exactly what I needed the hardware for and what I wanted to achieve compared to the current situation. The advice from all parties was fairly unanimous, namely that I had to have a powerful processor with at least 8 and preferably more cores, high speed, preferably overclocked. 32Gb RAM DDR4 was sufficient, certainly compared to what I had. 64 GB was better, but price performance wise too expensive compared to the speed difference of 32 GB in the proposed setting. A high cpu throughput was also necessary to handle high speed.The SSD M2 is fantastic in terms of startup speed and everything to do with data storage, but I don't think it should really contribute to the computing speed, at least if OT from its software configuration doesn't always return to information stored during computing. As far as the latter is concerned, I'm not so sure afterwards, because the replacement of a HDD to an SSD sata on the old PC certainly brought an improvement in calculation time, but I can't substantiate this with measurements. I hope this confirmed your thoughts for a good computer design. | |
