A semiconductor drive (RAM vs magnetic disk) will turbocharge the system at about the same price as the TB drive. You may not have room for files that should have been archived long ago - but it will bootup in seconds, not minutes.

If you are running Win 7 which you should rather than Vista, try to go for 64-bit. 32-bit will work fine. Max your RAM 4 GB would be good, though with 64-bit you could actually use more. And a humongous hard drive. Look for 1 TB as a good working arrangement.

However...in reality, dealing with TCS2 and docs that are hundreds of pages long and chock full of graphics, there is significant wait time even just to page-down through the file, generate the book, make a PDF, etc... and there are frequent crashes and lock-ups. I think the minimal specs usually are intended for the most basic ability to run the given program at all. However, I don't find anywhere any recommendations for optimal performance.
