Anyone running Algor on a laptop
Anyone running Algor on a laptop
(OP)
I'm looking to buy Algor and was wondering if anyone runs it on a laptop.
I currently use a laptop and will have to decide whether to upgrade this or buy a workstation specifically for FEA.
Some of the latest generation (top spec)laptops come very close to meeting Algor's recommended spec...but not quite.
Does anyone run medium or large models on a laptop or is it much better to run on a workstatation?

You need to maximize RAM whichever route you go. Windows XP recognizes 2Gb and there is a way to get it see 3Gb, I think. Windows 64 is supposed to see up to 4Gb, I think. The RAM will be the limiter for a sizeable model (50k+ DOF, non-linear).
