Hi There!
I'm at a crossroad and would love some advice from somebody that can help out. My home desktop that I built 5yrs ago (now a dinosaur today) will just not run my 3D design program Chief Architect with it's current advancements anymore.
I'm curious if the December $600 build would suit the need? Or if there are any other suggestions?
Here is the recommended specs from the website:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Minimum*
Windows 7 / Vista / XP**
2.4 GHz processor
2 GB of Memory (32 bit)
4 GB of Memory (64 bit)
5 GB of available hard disk space
256 MB dedicated video card
Monitor resolution 1024 x 768
OpenGL: 2.1 or higher
Internet: High speed for Registration, Video access, and Library downloads
**Chief Architect Premier X4 (64-bit) is not supported on Windows XP
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PC Recommended
Windows 7 64 bit
Multi-Core CPU (e.g., Intel i5, i7)
6 GB of Memory
50 GB of available hard disk space
1 GB high performance video card (e.g., NVIDIA or ATI)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is the link to the system requirements page: Chief Architect System Requirements
I know it might seem silly that I'm basically giving you the answers to my question, but it's the detail on what direction to go is my issue. This program would be the primary use of the system (off limits to the kids, lol), while also being connected to the internet. I'd also like to have it set so it could possibly withstand the next update or two (I know two is probably pushing it)
Thanks to anybody that can help out!
