What computer are you running ST2 on?
(OP)
I was asked to spec a new computer for myself so I can allocate my existing Lenovo to a student.
I looked at a Lenovo workstation, S20
Intel Xeon W3520 (2,66GHz)
Windows 7 pro 64bit (OS)
Nvidia Quadro FX 580 32 core (video card)
6 GB ram (upgradable)
Siemens site seems quite useless as to what is good or what isn't.
Any opinions or what sort of machine are you running ST2 on?
Also would you run CAD on a regular desktop vs a workstation?
I have had pretty good luck with the Lenovo so far (4+ years with no issues and its still running strong)

Everything else is more than sufficient and you should be quite happy with the performance.

The Dell T3400 (or the newest model) is very popular with SE users.

Rendering and drawing views are examples.
If you are creating drawings of very large assemblies you will see a benefit using a quad-core.
In the past I've had assemblies of 30K parts and the quad core was much quicker than the other machines with similar clock speeds.
If your assemblies are only a few hunderd parts then you would not notice any difference between dual or quad.

I am more concerned with the display card & memory.
I am not sure what kind of delta in memory (OS is going to use) to run XP64 vs Win 7 64.
