IBM System x3550 M3 is a good choice for HFSS & PowerSI..provided you have around $10k to spend.. 12Cores 3.46GHz / 192GB / 4 x 1TB HDD / Dual-port HBA 2nos. / Ethernet Daughter Card / Redundant Power / Multi-burner / Virtual Media Key checkout more here.. http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/x/hardware/rack/x3550m3/index.html Anil From: Shoaib Khan <signal.integrity1@xxxxxxxxx> To: si-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: 01/19/12 02:12 AM Subject: [SI-LIST] Workstation Configuration Sent by: si-list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi all, I am an SI engineer and my group is looking to get a Workstation for Signal Integrity simulations. I have an old system so I dont have an idea about the state of the art hardware. I am looking to do HFSS, Hyperlynx, PowerSI, etc kind of simulation for board and packages. To be to simulate these EDA softwares what is going to be a good system. If you could specify the name of model, processor, number of cores, amount of memory that would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
