processor for cad pc

[Dirk Lehmann]

Hello Forum-Users,

I looking for the opinion of seasoned persons with cad.

This appeal is to all users in this forum.

My question is and I am thinking about if a new cad-pc should contain
dual-core-cpu´s or should contain a dual-cpu-motherboard or is a
single-cpu-motherboard good enought for cad in a project work in the
building industrie? What are your opinions?

Thank you.

It is my experience that most CAD work, in larger companies that deal with
extensive engineering projects, is that it is done on networked
workstations. That being said, you should be able to handle just about
anything with a P4 3.0 gig or better processor and a minimum of 2 gigs of
RAM. Go for a 10,000 rpm hard drive, if you can get it.

Pick your software package and get what THEY say is best,
the software authors know best.

Have to disagree on this one...

For CAD, 3D and rendering, AMD Opteron blows *ANYTHING* Intel right out of
the water.
Intel has not been competitive for a long time...

Hello Bobby,

are you adept?

Do you think the opteron very good for architects or civil engineer or
architectural draftsman? What is the advantage of the opteron for architects
or civil engineer or architectural draftsman?

Thank you.

Hello Kevin,

are you adept?

Don´t you think a minimum of 512-1024 MB and a 7.200 rpm S-ATA II harddisk
is very goot for architects or civil engineer or architectural draftsman?
