I have been promised a much improved work station at work due to trying, and failing to open large assemblies and converting large PARA solid and STEP files.
After sending throu recomended SW specs, the IT chap has suggested either of these work stations:
HP Z210 SFF Workstation

Integrated SATA 3 Gb/s or 6 Gb/s controller, RAID 0, 1 capable Up to (2) 3.5-inch 7200 rpm SATA drives: 250, 500 GB, 1TB; 2.0 TB max Up to (2) 2.5-inch 10K rpm SATA drives: 160GB, 300 GB, 600 GB; 1.2TB max Up to (2) 2.5-inch SATA solid state drives: 160GB, 300GB; 0.6TB max OR
HP Z210 CMT Workstation
HP ATI FirePro V4800 1GB Graphics

Both would come with the following graphics card
Now i know the CMT is better, but i am not exactly sure why? Can anyone clarify a little bit for me?
Secondly, does anybody have any suggestions to additional hard/software i should try to get?
All comments are very much apprecaited!
