What is the ideal hardware setup for running a ACAD 2005 and 3dsmax 6 setup?
Ideal? Dual CPUs, a high end graphics card, two SATA (serial ATA) hard drives with support for RAID, and a Gig of RAM. Try www.XiComputer.com.
If you get the TV out feature on the graphics card, you can use one of those huge plasma screens too!
