Re: Workstation video card
From my experience (which is very little), CAD requires a lot more processor power then video card capabilities, so I guess it depends on if you are doing CAD or Animation. My crappy laptop with a 64 meg integrated video card runs inventor fine with a 3.0ghz CPU. Either way an Intel processor with 3.0+, HT possibly is a must. If you are going all out, I guess FireGL with PCI-Express. Ah yes and lots of RAM .... don't let your CAD die because you run out of memory (happened to me yesterday) and loose 2 hours of work.
