April 2005 - Best Performance on a PC CAD workstation

[KevinBarnett]

Greetings,

Straight up, I'm NOT a hardware expert, I spend most of my time assisting users and automating our CAD procedures. The company IT manager approached me recently, he said that there are dual processor PC's coming onto the market. He wants to know whuch will provide best CAD performance -
going for dual processors or
increasing the amount of RAM.
Pretend that your budget only allows for one or the other. Which would yuo opt for? Has any benchmark testing been done?

Thanks,

Kevin.

Hi Kevin

Please note I've *moved* this thread from the CAD Mgmt. General (http://forums.augi.com/forumdisplay.php?f=119) Forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

Thanks, Mike
