You want to download or update CADintosh X and it takes forever for the download to start or for the app to be completely downloaded because it just won’t load. Or an app like CADintosh X cannot be installed because the download does not start even though you are connected to the internet.īy the way, other problems and errors can occur which you can find in the overview of all CADintosh X problems find. The download or update is started, but only a fraction of the app is loaded after hours. It can be quite annoying when an app from the App Store cannot be loaded and thus updated. CADintosh X does not load or only very slowly despite internet connection? Then find out here what you can do if CADintosh X cannot be loaded. and the bigger the monitor the better, with respect to doing CAD work. for the video card, i reckon go with an nvidia 7800gt (better yet, get two and SLI **** up!) motherboard: anything asus or gigabyte that supports SLI not sure how far you'd wanna go with regard to price, cause really, you'd be better to spend more on the video card(s). i'd say stick with a dual core amd for the beef factor. So for someone with a bigger budget, here's what i would reccomend. I wont bother listing the rest, but yeah. Keep in mind though, that im a poor architecture studnet though so my budget could only take me SO far. so ill try and help you from what i learnt over the lengthy period i researched all this crap
and I want to minimise any hassle.Īhhh, i just recently put together a pc for myself especially for using 3D CAD gear. I would normally build something myself but as it's for a client they need a 3 year on-site warranty etc. I'm conscious of not buying into any "workstation" hype if you can spec a "consumer" PC for the same performance, so I configured a Dell Dimension and it came out more expensive and also forced me to buy a monitor I don't want - go figure! Is it good - a poster suggested he'd avoid it? However the Intel 955x chipset in the cheaper system seems to be newer (SATA-II etc.). I've specced both with 2 x 160GB RAID 0 HDDs and Quadro FX540s and they're similar prices.ĭoes the lower clocked dual Xeon beat the single Pentium D? I'd think so? So the choice comes down to the xw4300 with a Pentium D 950 3.4GHz (65nm) or xw6200 with 2 x Xeon 2.8GHz (90nm). Only their high-end workstation uses AMD (Opteron) and looks to be a very good performer, but it's over £4000 which is too much. Problem is I'm limited to HP it would seem now due to client preference. I know the NetBurst chips suck hard, but the latest 65nm models appear to mitigate their problems a little I gather. The Athlon FX-60 seems to blow anything Intel away.
Sorry for asking about PCs but I trust opinions on here and know there are some knowledgeable dudes hanging around. A complete smokin system for about $1,250. I can see a build-your-own AMD Opteron 165 (1.8 Gig) or some AMD 64 matched w/ two gigs OCZ memory & two 256MB GIGABYTE Geforce 6600GT video cards (GV-NX66T256DE) performing very very well. Remember, you don't have to get a dual core system! While Quatro cards themselves can cost the same as a complete entry level system, some of the prebuilt workstations I have looked at don't seem to be worth it if you look up the part's prices individually.Īlso, you may find you simply need consumer 6600GT chipset video cards (which are performing similar to higher class cards at fraction of $$.)
You may want to read about Sli and nVidia Quatro graphics cards for pro workstations. Well, it seems a prebuilt CAD workstation should start around $1500 - $2000 to be worth the investment I would personally stick with AMD over any Pent-D config. Investigate Your Options-CAD Workstations
