Dell workstation Computers for AutoCAD 2013

[Epicurwin]

We're scaling up a bit for some new projects and we are in need of at least one new computer. we were looking at Dells workstation computer because we have bought from them before and my employer believes it would be the easiest route. He is not really a computer guy and admittedly neither am I, so i would like to get some other opinions. These are a couple quick builds I am looking at currently.

Does anyone else use dell's workstation computers? Are they working well for you? We plan to use 2013 software on these, mostly AutoCAD MEP but maybe Navisworks as well. Other than checking the graphics cards at the auto desk site I haven't really done much.

We just had a discussion about Dell workstations within the last two days. Find it. Read it. The information provided will be applicable to your situation. Try searching on the word "workstation" or on "Precision".

in my opinion, you will definately need more than 2G RAM, which is what you have in the first option. I would suggest visiting profile pages of some of the members. Most of us have our computer details under our profile.
