The majority of our CAD computers have Dual Core AMD Opteron
175 Processors and ATI FireGL V5100 graphics cards. BUt we have one
that has an Intel Core 2 processor and and NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500.
All other componants and settings are the same. The standard
computer that we have it takes about 15 minutes to open one of our
standard drawings, but it is cut in half on the single computer
with the intel processor. Will that processor and graphics card
have that much of a gain?
