I know this might seem strange but has anyone considered
using Silicone Graphic machines.
There does seem to be numerous treads with reference to larger assemblies and Dual/Quad core machines. My think is, would it not better to jump platforms.
Any thoughts appreciated, and if any one has any knowledge of these machines even better.
Regards,

Interesting that you bring this up...I have often had a similarquestion, but my current understanding is that Windows will not runon an SGI platform, that instead it was UNIX/LINUX based which ofcourse defeats the whole point. Is this information correct?
SGI has some amazing machines out there and would be an obviouschoice for high end use, but I would think if it were possible torun SW on these machines it would already be recommended from thetop by SolidWorks corporate.
Just my 2¢...
