    Tapping Delrin

    New PC on a very limited budget

    You will not Regret this move, I had a High dollar Radeon card to begin with and was not able to do anything in solidworks, the graphics did not work right and was unable to do much of anything. After putting in the Nvida card it was like night from day.
