We need to get a new machine for one of our users (not me... sigh :(). Should we consider an Intel Dual Core Xeon, or is a Core 2 Duo (fastest available) just as good... or better?
I know Pro/E is a single thread application so triple or quad core chips don't seem to make sense - right?? Are there any plans to make Pro/E multi-thread and is it worth consideration at this point? Seems to me that clock speed and RAM is everything !
WF 4.0 No Pro/Intralink No Pro/Mechanica
Thanks,
Bob

Definitely go with a Core 2 Duo. Both cores operate on a single thread, giving you the best of both worlds. Last summer, we bought a bunch of HP 4600's with the E8500 CPU. Awesome performance and a great price/performance ratio. The Core i7 used the same archeteture, but has 4 cores. Look at the benchmark results at www.proesite.com.
