olokul Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Hey guys in need your help. I have two options im looking at right now. 1) Percision 7910 CPU e5-2603 v3 memory 16GB 4x4GB 2133Mhz OR 2) Percision T1700 CPU E3-1271 v3 memory 16GB 4x4GB 1600Mhz Rest of the stats are the same quadro K2200 500GB HDD Would it be better to go with option 1 with the slower cpu but faster ram or option 2 with the faster and more threads cpu and slower ram? The cad software we run is Delcam power mill 2014 and solid works 2014 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) I don't know about Delcam Power Mill 2014, but Solid Works 2014 importance for the criteria you're looking at: 1. RAM amount 2. CPU speed 3. CPU cores 4. CPU threads (hyperthreading) 5. RAM speed I would go with Option 2.

SpikeSoprano Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 I would go with #2, the ht and faster cpu will be much better than the first choice, imho ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
olokul Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 Cool thanks guys. next question with option 2...... non-ECC or ECC ram. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Cool thanks guys. next question with option 2...... non-ECC or ECC ram. I've never had issues with non-ECC RAM, even when overclocking, for CAD work. I mean, I could use my 24-core XEON server with 32GB ECC memory, and even though it would be more stable (being that if my overclocked workstation ever crashed, then more stable), it would also be slower than my overclocked workstation. It's up to you. Edited April 2, 2015 by El_Capitan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
