[PCB_FORUM] Re: System requirements for 15.2

Biggest. Bestest. Fastest.
If I was starting right now I would get a
dual Athlon 64, at least a gig of memory, dual 19
lcd or whatever will fit on you desk monitors,
A big ol honkin' scsi 320 disk, nvidia card with
dual monitor support (or matrox) and a nice
comfy chair. Cause with a design of that size
you will still have to wait a bit.
Oh, I would get one of those new laser mouses
also. The better resolution would be welcome.

Since moving to 15.2 and positive planes we have been experiencing considerable lag time when running DRC, using the electrical constraints for diff pairs or doing edits to the planes.



The boards we are having issue with are

We are looking to upgrading our hardware. I am hoping that some one in the group might be working with similar conditions and already have updated to a machine that could handle it. If any one can help me to spec a capable machine please let me know.



Thanks in advance,
