Im helping a relative of mine build a new PC so he can work at home. He will be running Pro Engineer where he works with 3D models. The IT guy has set some fairly broad specs. They are as follows:
PCi Express Motherboard
512MB Video Card (Can be consumer level -- PCIe)
At least 1 gig DDR ram
AMD Processor
I have a pretty broad knowledge of hardware but its been a while since I looked into the latest and greatest.
That isnt to say that he needs a top end system, rather the opposite. Something that fits within the specs above, but is relatively cheap. His current PC is junk and takes hours since every time he has to adjust the camera it re-renders the whole scene.
If anyone can make some suggestions I would be very thankful!
