Anyone have reccomendations for a solidworks work station? I have a customer who is running a 4 year old station and wants to update. He doesn't know current specs, and i've never worked with solid works before, so im clueless. My thoughts and questions so far.
I'm thinking a 1366 socket board for the following reasons.
1) More ram slots
2) Availibility of multi socket boards
3) ability to step up to a 6 core i7/ xenon processors
For ram i was told 32 gb was a reasonable amount, but i don't know
For hard drives i was thinking some kind of raid to help seek times, but i'm not sure what would be best. i was thinking 3 way raid 0 would be best with a large mirror disk, but i don't know if you would need a dedicated raid card for that.
Questions
Would a large solid state be a good idea.
Would it be better to get a high end consumer graphics card, or a professional series card like the quadro or fire pro.
Thanks guys, its always cool to be building something for a local buisness.
