I have a new machine that will be here on Monday, but since I have been working for 3DVision Technologies, I have been using an old but powerful workstation. This box only has a 870 Mhz Intel CPU, with 512RAM PC800 ECC, I just installed a Quadro 500 FX card, Running on Windows 2000 SP3 and runs really well. But the cost of memory for this hoss is as expensive as a new computer. So we bought a new computer instead (Without monitor). I'll have 3 good machines once I get this new one, that can run SW well. If your curious, I got them hooked to a Switch box and I only have to use one Monitor, one Mouse, and one keyboard.
I see slowdowns when I open large!! assembly drawings, but that's about it. I run pretty stable considering all the bugs that come through me here from all our customers.
Purchasing the most powerful PC well work and will last longer than these older machines will, but the price will hurt when you buy the best. It's better to take the step or two down. Still follow my post above on the hardware that should be consider when buying
Rocheey,
I hope your aware of SW customer bulletin about Windows NT4. SW cannot guarntee the compatibilty of SP' in SW03 after MS stops support of WinNT4. Even though SW still supports Win NT4. Which MS stopped support in June of this year.
Regards,
Scott Baugh, CSWP
