    Dual Core CPUs: AMD vs Intel

    Intel introduced dual core desktop CPUs earlier this week. AMD does it today with server and workstation dual cores. We should see in the coming days more reviews. Too bad the LS-Dyna results were not ready for this review. "Alan sent me this message a few days ago: “In one of our real-world...

    BUYING NEW WORKSTATIONS.. 64BIT??

    Lordrailie It seems that the sales people are trying to pull a quick one! They’re trying to sell you obsolete technology. Pentium 4 Xeon offer no upgradeability path, is a dead arhitecture. It looks like the maximum they will ever get out of it is 3.8Ghz and that is because it hit a thermal wall...

    BUYING NEW WORKSTATIONS.. 64BIT??

    lordrailie How much would you be willing to spend on a dual processor, 64 bit enabled workstation? I configured out of curiosity a few boxes: -AMD64 2.2GHz dual processor workstation capable (that means I selected only one processor, leaving the second one as an option for later) - minimum of...

    The workstation to beat?

    I was just being facetious, I'm not a fan of Microsoft and their bloated OS. A mega video card review at: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/2004-27gpu.html http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/2004-27gpu2.html No CAD benchmarks but there are some Direct3D vs OpenGL...

    The workstation to beat?

    And how can Microsoft fix Windows? 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...

    Best CPU for workstations

    Sorry, it was the AIX not the Windows version. http://www.catiasolutions.com/news_full.php?cpfeatureid=3022 Dassault and IBM Announce 64-bit Applications for AIX Dassault Systèmes and IBM have announced the first release of 64-bit enabled Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications for...

    Best CPU for workstations

    I just read the other day, I think they already did that sometime in November, a Candidate Release. V5 is or will be available shortly for 64 bit. Dual Opteron and 64 bit, that should fly! Too bad Dassault is afraid to release a Linux version. ProE has one.

    Best CPU for workstations

    If you're looking into 64 bit than you better forget about Xeons and Pentium 4. Here is a good review of what you can expect by going to 64 bit from the two arhitectures. Pentium 4 is a dead end,was never intended to be a 64 bit processor, they had to do it because of the Opteron and the results...

    V5 FEA Optimization

    Has anyone used FEA Opimization in V5? Where can I find an example? I couldn't find anything in documentation.

    Hardware Upgrade For V5

    AMD just released the latest workstation processors: Opteron 150 and 250 Review http://www.techreport.com/reviews/2004q2/opteron-x50/index.x?pg=1 "If I were building (or, implausibly perhaps, buying) my ultimate workstation right now, I'd want a pair of Opteron 250s beating at the heart of...

    Hardware Upgrade For V5

    I wouldn't place too much trust in Catia Solutions' CatBench. Their home page features Dell as main sponsor. Reminds me of PCWorld magazine not too long ago, invariably Dell would win the top spot in any category. In their charts out of 11 workstations, 6 are Dell, and 100% are Intel based, on...
