    Check out the minimum system requirements as posted at the AutoDesk website. They now list actual systems that meet their standards.

    I would recommend nothing less than a Win7 64-bit computer running the 64-bit version of your software. Other things to consider would be 4-8GB of RAM, perhaps a solid state drive for your programs with a platter drive for your data files, and a medium level graphics card (not a graphics chip).

    Oscar: What model of Samsung computer? Is this a desktop or a laptop? What are the hardware specs? I could literally put any computer manufacturer's name in place of "Samsung" in your sentence and it would have just as much significance.
