Hi there,
Just building a new machine - PC - and was wondering what everyone
running Pro Engineer WF 4.0 uses as a decent platform to drive it.
Current Spec is: 3.5GHz Zeon, 8GB RAM, NVidia Quadro FX1500, Windows
Ultimate x64.
I work on very big assemblies (200 parts+), and I do lots of complex
surfacing, mechanism, FEA, and cable work.
My current system (above) is pretty much running at the limit. I'm going to
upgrade the graphics card to something like a Quadro FX5000 or 6000 and
thinking about running Pro Engineer on a Unix operating system.
However, my real questions is RAM. Am I better of going with a super fast
processor...maybe even dual processors or just a huge amount of RAM.
The budget I have for this system is quite large, but I don't want to spend
money on something that Pro E either cannot utilize or that will not actually
make a huge amount of difference to my daily experience using Pro
Engineer.
Anyone bought a system like the above of late?
Cheers
