I need some advice on specing a low cost entry level system.
It is going to be used mainly for sheetmetal part modelling, smallassembly work (Less than 50 parts) and creating the drawings andBOM's etc.
We do use a lot of configurations with some files being 70~100MB insize.
Any rendering or FEA will be done on my machine.
The company generally uses Dell computers and I think we would liketo stick to that. I have been looking at a Precision 390 but I'mnot sure how to configure it
I want to stick to a 32bit system and 2GB of RAM should be plenty?
The rest of the company runs Windows XP Pro so not even going tothink about Vista.
I have no idea when it comes to processors (I lost track after the486 DX2 came out)
A NVIDIA Quadro card? Not sure of Chipset or the amount of RAM
Has anyone gone through this recently? What did you opt for? Anysuggestions welcome? Is there anything I should avoid?
Many thanks
