Save faster !
One smart guy (from Trimble, I think) recommended here on a post about SUx64 that we get faster hard-drives if we want faster save.
Tell me, how SLOW do you think my HDD is, if a freakin' 57MB model needs 2-3 minutes to save ?? I have a hint: is SATA II, not 5" Floppy

The speed of which your model is saving leads me to believe your hard drive is running slow. You also mentioned you had a Core2Duo, which is (depending on which architecture) is up to six generations behind. Hard drives are not meant to last that long; they work like vinyl records - you have a read/write head that goes back and forth and reads the data from a spinning metal platter, but instead of reading grooves that wear out, it's readinng magnetism. Over time, that read/write head, just like the needle on a turntable, will wear out. When this happens, its ability to read/write data to the drive is diminished, sometimes to the point of it being unusable. The fact that your model is small means nothing if the speed of your harddrive has dropped to a crawl.

How many Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfathers do YOU know that have memories so fast they can tell you anything you want to know?

Chances are, there aren't many. And the same concept is true of a harddrive that's gone through 5 generations of processor changes. If you're still running the original drive, consider a replacement. Since you're running SATA II, get a solid state drive - a 120GB Kingston HyperX 3K SSD costs around $100, labor rates will very. Use the SSD for your active sketches, and store them long-term on the old drive.
