help, what computer to buy! ! ! !

[Lex]

Hello.

My boss decided that he needs a new computer to make simulations. (better than a movie!!)

I will generally use solidworks with all the cosmos package, fluent, gambit, nastan, femap, ansys and gt-suite.

I currently use a laptop with windows 32-bit view which is not the maximum in performance. . .

as I would like to go to a computer worthy of making even very heavy simulations I had in mind what idea but I have doubts. the cost limit should be less than $1000 (treatable). logically I just need the tower.

1) as I would like to use more than 4 ram gigs, the only choice is to switch to 64-bit operating system. but at this point the programs, which I listed before, that turn me on a 32-bit sitema will also turn on a 64-bit system? and if not there are 64-bit versions?

2) the use of a quadcore for its predictions would be ideal, but are these programs able to use all four processors or not?? I don't want to have four of them, and then find out that fluent only uses one to analyze. What kind of processors do you recommend me?

3) is it preferable to use windows xp or view? always in panoramic compatibility of programs.

4)what video card do you recommend? What?

5) buy it from a site like the, or assemble it yourself?


Thank you so much!!

Hi.

the solidworks package also turns to 64 bits if installed with the appropriate dvd, it is stable and works very well.
like os I recommend windows 7 to 64 bit, which has proven to be more performing than xp in many tests. I tested the beta and found it very stable.
solidworks is certified for windows 7 from 2010 sp 0.0, but also 2009 is good on win 7. the only problem you have with 2009 is the update: you have to do it by hand and not with the installation manager.
If you use 64-bit os and the appropriate version of swx - cosmos, etc... (say) multicore processors are better exploited.
said this the budget you make available is poor to create a high performance pc, so you will have to take something assembled ad hoc with two eyes careful to the price.
if you want to make rendering (or quality rendering movies) you have to take painting or firegl, the gamers are not good.
said that if you take a picture 1800 you already spent 400 € + VAT...
at this point you should take all technology slightly outdated to track with mother-ram.cpu- hard disk card and a good power supply (fundamental).

you should take a cpu type an e7500 (112 € on the site essedi), but will not have the performance of an i7...
a pc based on such a processor is dignified and does not spend madness.

I feel a little too low for this figure. .

I will generally use solidworks with all the cosmos package, fluent, gambit, nastan, femap, ansys and gt-suite.

I mean, you have 50,000 euros of software, and the boss cares about 1000 euros of pcs?

Anyway, for the fem, you need a lot of cores and a lot of rams. The more you get, obviously, 64-bit.

I will try to answer exhaustively even if... time is pressed tyrant that I do not use solid.. with all its derivatives

I use a dual core operon... I have to say that as a system it still keeps the comparison well, even if it has a few years now, regarding your configuration it is not clear if you intend to buy a dual socket motherboard.... Of course a thousand euros.. It's a little... I would say nothing since in case I chose a dual socket or quad socket only the most certified powerhouse... you are already on 300 eurozzi.. not to mention the processor and ram... that with 4 gb I don't think it can do much... if you use the double socket... become 4+4 or 8+8 we begin to reason.. or 16+16 not to mention that at certain levels and for certain mother plates.. can only mount ram etc... I stop here...

I don't know the software that you mention... never used but I heard about it in your field.. I really think that by now.. are optimized for 64 bits... and to exploit the cores present.. on the processor.. virtualization etc..

as video card nvidea picture... You chose a lady card... even if on a site that advertised solid.. I remember seeing that they also used the athletes a picture included in the 1000 euros .. I see hard... or the hardware from you is given... or 1000€ only for the painting.. even if some cost... 4500€. . .

operating system.. I use xp.. but we ordered seven.. See. Forget it....why do you want to suffer also maybe it would be the case of predicting a nice raid system..0 or raid 0+1. or raid 5. with some discs.. from 10000 rpm.. I do not ask you the scsi.ultra etc.. I recommend in case you opt x discs with high number of turns... the house must be designed.. with care.. air circulation.. it is essential...x not to burn hard drive... see westerdigital raptor who suffer and break... for this in the best houses.. slots for fans.. There are so many... even here... good fans. at very low noise. I don't say about hihih oil bath bearings but at least those that certify air volume.. I'm moving... audible db... not to mention the cooling system of processors.. also here I for my opteron I spent only 90€ cad. x heatsink..key excluded fan that was apart.. solid block of copper... hiihih. ..now of has excellent products.. but if you want to enter the particular of each component and choose. . You just don't have to wait. . .

to finish if you also want a system that consumes little... in terms of energy.. then you owe them.. balance the choice of all components... buying models with reduced watt consumption... I speak... of hard disk.. processors etc... less consumption less heat produced.. If I don't remember badly... .

hi and good choice...... 1000€ you were joking.. I don't know how much it costs. the sofw, but 1000 of the boss hear.. usali x a holiday.. or Christmas gifts... I'm sorry. but read 1000€ tractable.. I bet you would also want to install at home...I only ask you when you're done telling me where harware is from your hihih parts
wind..

worthy to make even very heavy simulations

hi lex you can tell your boss that with less than 2000 euri if you can forget to make simulations, especially fluid dynamics, also with 4 giga you do very little.

50€ is not enough for half of the stuff he's listed... :

depends on what you have to do... if you have to analyze a valve, you do it very well... if you have to analyze a chemical reaction, you forget it...

cmq 8 giga di ram fundamental, cpu depends on the licenses...fluent and ansys have a dedicated license to be able to use all the cpu...the other software cited I don't know..

mediaworld sells
I have seen one of your own lately
with 64 bit view, i5 to 2.66 ghz, 6 gb ram video card I do not remember
if geforce or ati to 860 euro including
also advance money for pizza

I have just been proposed a repentum i7 with 12 giga ram. What do you think?

What picture should I ask for? entry level? ?

 

[enri]

by curiosity lately I had given an occia on the site of, and I was amazed at the price of a precision t1500 with i7, ati fire pro v3750 to 779 euro + VAT. Obviously you have only 2 giga of ram, but for a little more than one hundred euros you get to six giga, it seems great.

 

[Lex]

First of all, thank you all for the help you are giving me! ! !

then I was offered to use an i7 intel from 3 giga with 12 giga of ram ddr3, and nvidia picture card fx 1800. I have already checked that all programs I use run without any problem on windows xp 64 bit.

What do you think? ? ?

is good, but I would take seven 64

Can I ask why do you think windows 7 is better than xp?

I answer from profane you buy a software that in a while will no longer have the support from the mother house, nor from the companies producing hardware seen is obsolete, anchored technologically to that period, discarding seven that is born with the best wishes especially x fill that gap created with view... I like your boss. I am spending money x something a mature operating system is old, so that only I think some versions properly manage the ram speech higher than many gb

on the processors that advised you I don't know what to say I only use amd... but intel with some is superior certainly I understand that you think you are oriented on a single processor mobo. ...
