Bye to all,
Does someone have experience on the operation of pro/e on imac, obviously with so windows?

more than anything you should worry about the performance compared to the graphics card and processor of the imac that interests you.. in the old macbook pro with intel core2 duo windows turned faster than on my precision (and we talk about w. view!) so do you.. in practice if the hw is valid (which I don't know why I don't know in detail the imac) in dual boot you shouldn't have problems!

we are talking about an average configuration, with at least one i5 intel core at 2.8ghz, 4 or 8 gb ram, video card ati radeon hd 5670 512mb gddr3 or higher.

and what wildfire are we talking about?. I think the intel core i5 is a bit scary.. for the atheists you should check on the manufacturer's website where it indicates the recommended laptops and consequently the video card.. for my experience in pc (not in mac) with the ati I have always found badly and also in the last models I have verified a series of display errors also with software cad less ostic of proe...
.. also depends on the complexity of the files you will go to handle. .I don't know the price of this imac configuration, but surely at a lower price valid manufacturers such as hp or (I don't use it only because I don't have a good opinion working all day, especially laptops, and that cmq cost more), they give you workstations with a 1gb picture nvidia!
It is true that in the performance tests the ally takes even more points than envy but in practice the accounts do not return.. I also recommend that you consider updates that are important to keep the machine life cycle in standard, and that in nvidia are constant.. .
Then obviously it will be your business, but the question arises spontaneously.. why never buy an imac if then you have to work proe with windows.. if not for aesthetics?

we are not talking about notebooks, that is macbook, but imac.
http://store.apple.com/iton the "because never buy an imac", I tell you that they are decisions that come from above.
Until now we have had compaq ws and hp and nvidia video cards, I opened the topic just to know if someone had pro/e experience on apple machines.
If we talk about aesthetics, they are not bad, especially the 27", and also the quality of the screen is another planet, and the price compared to an equivalent ws hp is not high.

you have ever evaluated the fact that apple screens are created for graphics and video editing and therefore the screen surface is highly reflective.
for cad better a matt screen (dell, eizo,...).

at the same configuration hw the price of an apple is always higher. This is a fact. the excellent design make it pay. . .

provided that I do not use proe on mac, but I am a possessor of an imac not even too recent. regarding the screen, it will also be very reflective but I assure you that it does not affect the eyes at all and that the quality is certainly superior. the cost seen a little so may seem high, but if you consider quality of architecture and stability it offers, then paradoxically it seems lower than average. As far as performance is concerned, it is not simply possible to compare the mb, precisely because, for the different management of data and resources, which in the apple is highly qualified, comparison is practically impossible. a test that affects the video cards very much you can do with some videogames and the result is that with many mb less you have higher effects than a pc win. compatibility with other systems is 100% guaranteed

I thought you needed it at home, if it's for work doesn't make much sense, the advantage of these machines that are exceptional, is just to use os x. however it's the video card according to me that can give problems, ask the support. you will do well to invest more and take macpros with the picture. or go directly to nx...: )

exact advantage in a mac is to use the operating system, it is the software that is better.. windows may always be snappy but always windows is... then depends how many times you use proe..ovvio that if + 50% of the time you use it to do works with adobe or cinema4d suites and a small part with the cad the mac is a shared solution.. In any case, I also see a macpro more indicated. .

It can also be that we will take a mac pro, since we already have one for the graphics, and that it also does as a pdm server in virtual environment, without at least resentment of the great work that must carry out.
another mac pro we're testing it with the cam.
Anyway, if we actually take a mac, I'll let you know.

I tried wf4 and 5 on macbookpro and imac xp for both, you have no problem , of course they are not stains born for windows but to work they work ... also well! I used them at home having only mac

you work well, even better than many others.
are totally compatible with windows, just a few set of bootcamps.

take a macpro with the picture (schedule that pays almost twice as much as the card provided by dell) and then make us turn pro-e on win seems to me anything but an investment. It doesn't make any sense, unless the prindipal use of the machine is the graphics and sometimes they have to start pro-e.
the other mac can not mount the 300 euro frames that would safely turn any cad that exploits the opengl so I do not see what there is to reflect. The mac, for now, is not the suitable machine.
then when they jump out visual problems (removal hidden lines that go to hiccups, persistent slides of the edges, ghost pictures etc) and you go to complain with the ptc assistance you know what laughter you do when you tell him that you are wearing a mac with an ati? :wink:

It's true, but if they had to take a mac, the imac wasn't exactly ideal. :

dispassionate advice.. the mac leave it to those who want an element of furniture.. .
Let's use the false myths of the most stable mac (I would have to say) and fast (hw is the same). ..especially if the goal is the installation of windows, it is one of the with double the hw characteristics at the same price of the mac...and without accruing from bootcamp to the drivers...
It is widely proven that even the apple house baluards as photoshop (cs4, 5 I haven't seen it actively) turn better in windows (64 bits of course)...with abyssable differences. . .
the mac put it to the secretary at the entrance to make a nice scene or because you are obliged to buy it (in this regard it is called the owner's vent, great loss of money and time). .
I am not a microsoft retailer, well understood. .

the usual superficial criticisms of those who have never used os x and a mac. of criticisms to the mac do so, but they are very precise, detailed, which concern many aspects, from specific hardware elements to the costs of some products, or the poor availability of upgrades for some components such as graphics cards. but considered some aspects, such as the budget available, and the use of native sw, it is undoubted that the gain only in terms of time is huge. I am extremely concerned with statements about the fact that so far xp is the best microsoft system, as well as by the latest seven criticisms that there are around. 
and I tell you that I intend to use a pc workstation, well assembled, however, with high-level components, precisely because of the costs of flexibility, and the possibility of upgrade also of the motherboard and cpu.
another dance is that of the less coast. costs are absolutely aligned for high-end models, equal to hardware, if ever there is greater flexibility in configurations. Of course, the engineering of a macpro is on another planet, compared to the polystil. :biggrin:
but with bio it is an old speech, we have fun every now and then to do typhus.:biggrin::wink:

it doesn't rain!
However, we already have two mac pros and go great, in a year never a problem.
I do not doubt the quality of the, but a good configuration costs, here it is.

I know that is a speech that always ends with you, :biggrin: but just yesterday I configured (I because the internal technician is at home) two workstations of which at the moment cost 1k euros in less than a mac pro to almost equal characteristics.. Our ws have an extra 4000 square...
You will understand that if you have to mount windows, taking a mac is not the right choice... and as I always say, osx I don't mind... but only on the mobile phone:d
