Our company is currently looking into upgrading hardware, and software (to LT2006), and I brought up a couple questions I have been unable to find much on:
I've heard stories about dual channel memory not always functioning like it was intended. Has anyone run into these issues with Autocad, or is that likely a strict hardware issue?
Same thing with the various north and south bridge chipsets for the various motherboards, any issues cropping up with Autocad? (I've still got bad memories of headaches with a 486 Cyrix chip and Acad 10 disagreements.....)
Last, some of the quotes we've received thus far have integrated video, which I don't like. But, most of our files are strictly 2D shops, with a file size of 1 meg or less, so this may not be a major issue. As such, I'm having a problem justifying an upgrade to a Quadro, etc. I haven't been able to locate a certified video card/chipset list, or anything like that for Autocad. (Found a few for Solidworks, but not acad).
Any comments appreciated.
