    Ug NX5 Workstation

    Thanks again John. A couple more questions. I set the display preferences-faceting to extra-fine while I'm working as I need to evaluate surfaces as I create them. Is this a CPU or Video card intensive task? Lastly if I am running a rendering task (Alias ImageStudio) simultaneously while...

    Ug NX5 Workstation

    Thanks John. What about running NX5 on the new Quad-core Macs? Can the machine be set up for 64 bit? How is the “bang for the buck? and will NX5 run in native Mac OSX yet? If not then when and how is the performance under Bootcamp? thanks again, Walter "Any sufficiently advanced technology is...

    Ug NX5 Workstation

    John, I am ready to upgrade my 4 yr old pc to accomodate NX5's hearty appetite for resources. I also do mostly free-form modeling and create some rather "heavy" models. Since you recommend CPU power first can you give us any tips on performance of say ...Duo-core vs Quad core? Also realistically...

    NX5 and Macintosh

    John, Thanks for responding. Do you mean to say that eventually NX might run under the Mac OS? Also referring to my original post do you have any input on which graphics card offered with the "Intel" Macs would be recommended? Thanks again, Walter "Any sufficiently advanced technology is...

    NX5 and Macintosh

    Yes I know but the "Intel" Macs can run "Windows" and Linux operating systems. I believe Apple Computer is running NX under Linux on their "Mac" computers. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"- Arthur C. Clarke

    NX5 and Macintosh

    I'm wondering should I decide to purchase a new MacPro desktop system which graphics card Apple offers that would be suitable for running NX? I'm modeling for Industrial Designers so graphic performance is important in dynamically moving the model in Fine or XtraFine faceting mode as well as...
