Re: Please help: computer purchase for FIRST sw
I am currently running Inventor 2010 on the following, and it runs relatively well:

Athlon 64 2.0Ghz Dual Core (not threaded)
ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics (1408MB)
3 GB DDR2 RAM

It should be pretty easy to beat these stats, but make sure you have plenty of RAM. Based on the likely size of your assemblies, things can get a little bit slow fully assembled, so a better processor should be a top priority.
