HP xw9300 Workstation
-Dual Opteron upgradeable to dual core processors
-dual PCI Express(TM) graphics workstation with support for NVIDIA Quadro SLI(TM) (Scalable Link Interface)
-Up to 16 GB of DDR memory
-SATA, SATAII and Ultra 320 SCSI drives
I wish they test this in CATBench...
Cray, HP and Sun - AMD Dual-Core Demonstrations Get Two Thumbs up at LinuxWorld

RE: The workstation to beat?
The "quad" processors won't help outside of the analysis stuff.
I can't imagine there's a need for SLI video unless you do a lot of real-time-rendering. I wouldn't be able to make any use of it.
It would be cool, though.
RE: The workstation to beat?
I keep wondering why Dassault is not releasing a Linux version... Are they that afraid of Microsoft? I remember I read somewhere that they have it ready.
I could really use more processing power for optimization, I'm not sure V5 is dual processor enabled.
As for SLI video, I would rather know the power is available if I need it, something like the cars we drive, we don't really need that much power but is good to have it!
RE: The workstation to beat?
Sorry, I don't want to pay for something I do not use...
Would you pay for a complete licence of V5 if you do only PartDesign ?

No CAD benchmarks but there are some Direct3D vs OpenGL comparisons.
