I think on a HP workstation Z4? Grafic Card? I use IC, Rhino, Photoshop, Outlook, Office and iTunes the most, and offten together Thanks Carlo This post has been edited by cborer: Jul 12 2012, 06:57 AM

My dealer said he is waiting to assemble the new computer until he knows the recommendation of my CAD. So is there really no idea about it? Kernel 4 or 6? Graphic Card Processor Is there something that IC does not like? Or something that makes IC faster?

Video: OpenGL hardware-accelerated graphics card (for best results see HOOPS Compatibility http://developer.techsoft3d.com/hoops/hoop...raphics-cards/). Disk space: 1GB Beyond that we really don't have any hard data as a guide. For your work I would recommend at least 8GB RAM, a mid to high-end Nvidia Quadro graphics card and as fast of an Intel i7 CPU as your budget will allow.
