Recommendations??

[rwhitbeck]

I am looking for recommendations for a good, cost efficient system for using Revit. I don't want to just meet the minimum requirements, but I don't want to go overboard either...this is for my bosses information so that he can budget it...and he will not budget outrageous.

If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks!

I would recommend looking at an Hp xw series workstation. I have gotten 2 refurbished units for half the price of a brand new one.

My xw9400 Specs
(2) AMD Opteron 2.2GHZ Processors
(4) GB Ram
Nvidia Quadro 1500 FX Graphics Card
(2) NIC ports
XPPro
Very expandable!!!!!

My xw4400 Specs
Intel e6700 2.66 GHZ Processor
(4) GB Ram
Nvidia Quadro 1500 FX Graphics Card

One thing that separates these from other workstations is their Framework Tuning and expandability. The framework tuning application creates profiles for your system drivers to suite the application best. You can pick up a good refurbished unit for around 1200.
For $100 you can get 3 years on site support against hardware defects. They also have great deals on MS Office.
