new CAD machine |
|
|
It's time for a client to get a new engineering machine, maybe 2. The last one i got them was
asus mobo.. can't remember the model..
opteron 146
quadro fx1000
10k raptor
what i need to know.. is ..
what would be a good configuration for a new CAD machine..
what is the next generation for opteron.. ? or is there?
maybe dualcore Athlon64 X2 4200 in a S939 nforce4 ?
and a mobo for that next gen. chip with pci-e
i guess no point is SLI.. just get a pci-e mobo..
hard drive-- would the sataII be faster than the 10k raptor? i think so.. trying to stay away from scsi.. too costly .. can get a better vid card..
and for vid..
PNY NVIDIA QUADRO FX3400 PCIE 256MB DDR3 DUAL DVI seems to be the best for the buck that my supplier can get..
Solidworks is what the client uses mainly
any input would be greatly appreciated..
