I want the computer to be really fast. I have had graphics before. I just want really fast.

I play solitaire occasionally.

If you just want "fast", but you're not doing heavy graphics, then you want three things: A fast processor, lots of high-end RAM, and one or two large solid-state drives. If you were doing high-end graphics or intense gaming (not solitaire) you'd also need a high-end graphics card or two.

The SSD (solid-state drive) may be the real key to being fast if you aren't using memory-intense applications. The speed boost over traditional hard drives is amazing. Prices have come down a lot, so you're in luck.

Let me look and I'll get back to you. Do you have a brand preference?
