ReMark Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 Have you looked at any of the Xi Computer workstations? They are consistently ranked in the top three of catalyst magazine CAD computer comparisons. You might also want to check out a line of custom built computers by a company called ThinkMate. General config: Win7 64-bit Professional 12GB RAM (minimum) Mid-range graphics card (not an onboard chip) SSD for boot drive and a platter drive for data storage Quote
danielk Posted February 21, 2013 Author Posted February 21, 2013 What version of AutoCAD and CADWorx? 2013 both. Quote
f700es Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 As for the CPU I would look at the 3rd generation core i7 based systems over the Xeon based units. Right now I think that for $2000 you'd get more bang for your buck with the i7 over the Xeon. Quote
