[PCB_FORUM] Re: Refreshing Dynamic shapes

I have dual 3.0 GHz Xeons and 2gb of memory now :)

Doesn't really matter since Allegro isn't multi-threaded and Cadence refuses
to consider making it so...  Otherwise I'd have them get me a 4 Xeon server
:@

Thanks!

This would be the time to let the powers that be
that you need that new dual athlon machine!
This is ammo, use it!
They don't want you sitting around while you
wait for your machine, do they? ;^)
