Need help making a computer for solidworks
Need help making a computer for solidworks
(OP)
My boss is letting me pick everything I want for new computer to run solidworks on.
I would like laptop since 1/2 time I will be working from my house(2 man company since I joined). I'm thinking the Athlon64 would be a good processor. Any suggestions? This is for 2001plus, I'm going to try and see if we can upgrade to 2005.
I don't need anything real fancy but I need a fast processor and ram for solidworks. Other uses would be writing bids, and using the internet to order parts from vendors.
Built in wireless internet would also be a big plus.
Sorry for the rambling, any suggestions welcome thanks.

I work from home about 30% and just lug the tower back and forth. I've purchased a collapsible (sp?) dolly and really find it very little effort to swap I/O from my personal machine to the company horse.
If you're not going to be travelling, then I see little benefit to the laptop.

This might be of interest. I don't know the background of this benchmark test, but if mobile requirements are what you need, the M70 laptop is not obscenely more expensive than the desktop workstations.
