To go for a sw10/286, or wimp out and go for a tamer cam? Need to order, and can't decide whether it'll be good in traffic, esp on l2b!

Ive got 7 on my mac, but for some reason solidworks wont carry out renders on it.
I'd been doing renders all day on my pc, taking about 2-3 hours each, went out for a meal, came back to find the blsck sceen on death, can't even boot a recovery disc on it! Hdd failure from one of the codes given! two all nighters for me :(
