Henry Burt Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 I presently run Iron CAD on a Compaq with a Celeron 600 and 512MB PC 100 Ram. With large files I can easily grind it to a near stand still. I am ordering a Dell Percision Workstation 530. Xeon 1.5GH, 512MB PC800 ECC RD Ram, 3dLAbs Wildcat II 5110 VGA/DVI, and an Ultra 160/M SCSI (10,000 RPM) H-D. Will this keep me moving? Do I need more RAM?

Chris Lohman Posted March 29, 2002 Share Posted March 29, 2002 IronCAD will definitly take advantage of all available ram. If you're working with 100+ meg scene files then even 2 gigs of ram wouldn't be outrageous. I would suggest going with what you have and just keep an eye on your ram usage and upgrade in the future if needed. 512 is a good starting point.

pnobel Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 nice machine! buy me one too? you can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ram. I would not get less than 1 gig. for this Ferrari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IronKevin Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 Make sure you have a memory slot configuration (i.e. empty slots) that would allow cost effective and convenient RAM upgrade. No sense having to discard RAM to make room for larger SIMMS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
