Doing investigation and would like to understand what others might be using. I have an i7 950 3.0X Ghz processor - quad core, adequate storage and a gamer invidia video card. All were pretty high end when purchased but the internals don't really compare for a xeon of similar clock speed. Internal cache is likely half of the xeon. My graphics card and processor are not even listed on the Solidworks site.

Are the group in here using a dedicated real workstation with graphics card and SSD500GB drives? If so I will have to go shopping.

Thanks for any help here.
