Recommended options for a laptop working with UGS NX5 or UGS NX7

Recommended options for a laptop working with UGS NX5 or UGS NX7

(OP)
Yes, basically that. What should I be looking for?

RE: Recommended options for a laptop working with UGS NX5 or UGS NX7

Well, I'm running a Dell M4500, Intel i7 2.67 GHz CPU, 4GB memory, NVIDIA Quadro FX 880M graphics card and it works for me. I often have two or three different sessions of NX running at once when I'm testing something or looking at regressions and problems for a customer. Granted, it would be better with 8GB of memory but so far it's been OK.

BTW, this is NOT an endorsement of Dell, just a comment about what I'm currently using and what I think of it.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

RE: Recommended options for a laptop working with UGS NX5 or UGS NX7

RAM size depending on if you will run 64 bit OS or not. In 32bit there is no point in having more than 4 Gb. In 64 bit i would say go with at least 8Gb. ( My laptop has 16 Gb.)
