Explanation

CAD and 3D modeling are memory-bandwidth-intensive and CPU-intensive workloads. The Intel Socket 1366 platform (used by Core i7 Extreme/Xeon processors) natively supported triple-channel DDR3 memory, providing significantly higher memory bandwidth ideal for these tasks. Triple-channel memory (Choice A) pairs with Socket 1366 (Choice E) to maximize throughput. A MIDI sound card and TV tuner are irrelevant to CAD/CAM. Onboard (integrated) graphics lacks the dedicated VRAM and GPU compute power required for professional drafting and modeling applications.
