Okay, it's come down to this. I ordered a 1Tb SSD and the usual cloning cable plus 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 adapter today. I had debated even before the issue with over achieving ON1 Photo Raw whether to replace the C: drive with an SSD. I figure I'll see what difference in performance I see. Quite honestly, I'm not that optimistic. One of the posters suggested it's not an IO problem, I tend to agree but am interested enough to try. It's less than $150 for a Crucial and stuff through Amazon. Then, I fully expect to have to bite the bullet for a new GPU. Going back to my prerequisites, bus powered only (no hookup for a second fan), 4gb, and less than $200 eliminates a number of suggestions even though I'm really appreciative. Price begats performance, that I'm aware.... The 1060 GPU is in the $300 plus ballpark. I couldn't find a 1060 ti version. That sort of pushes me back to its predecessor, the 1050 ti single fan version with 4gb onboard, which is available for less than $200. I'll probably give that a shot with fingers crossed. If that doesn't help.... well, there are only a couple ways to go, new computer (no!!) or go up to a more expensive card.

Again, make sure your drivers are up to date and check the performance before spending cash trying to solve the problem.
The SSD is not a bad investment, you will see a big performance increase. But if there's a compatibility issue with your ON1 software and the GeF driver version you have you will still have issues.
