I was liking the server now because I wouldn't have to pay for the CPU upgrade and then mess with buying the Sata cable online. The reason why I'm nervous is because my work is paying for half my computer and if AutoCAD won't run properly my boss will wonder why he gave me the money then.

If it could without a problem for the next 2-3 revisions of AutoCAD (till AutoCAD 2014) then I could justify getting the sever.

The biggest determining factor would be if the intel integrated graphics card could handle my 2d CAD. I am now where near maxing out the CPU due to our CAD work only being 2D and then with only using the machine for about 4 hours a week, I figured the quad core would suit me better since I could use it for my handbrake rips. I only use on average 10% of my PC's CPU when doing CAD. Also I have always been told that a dedicated graphics card is superior to an integrated card for CAD.īut this is where I start to waiver on that selection. I was at first leaning this way because I knew that AutoCAD mainly uses one core and benefits more from a higher clock rate. Would the dedicated graphics card be worth it for 2D CAD? Or could I upgrade to the i7 Server (that would increase my Handbrake rips) but also be able to handle 2D CAD?

I was planning on buying the $799 Mac Mini and upgrading separately with a 120 GB SSD, 1 TB HD, and 8GB memory. When the Mac mini isn't being used for AutoCAD, it will be used mainly as a server and HTPC. When the 2011 Mac mini's came out they peaked my interest. I can use my existing 20" ACD with the Mac mini, which I like because it is a matte display. Category: Utilities Developer: Apple Computer, Inc.

This firmware update improves system stability for your Power Mac G5 (June 2004). I have an old G5 Power Mac with a 20" ACD. Power Mac G5 (June 2004) Firmware Update v.5.1.8f7. I was originally planning on a 27" Imac but I think it is overkill for me.

I will use this computer maybe once a week to do half a days CAD work, when I get back from meetings and don't want to drive down to the office. I'm looking for a computer which is able to do light AutoCAD work, but when I use it is able to meet all my needs. We do deal with large files with some files having 50+ xrefs. I do landscape irrigation design, so 3D is not needed.
#Autocad for power mac g5 for mac
I know that AutoDesk has released AutoCAD for Mac but since it is not 100% equal to the windows version I need to stick with the windows version under Bootcamp. Typically AutoCAD uses up to 15% of my 1 year old i7 pc's cpu and 4 gb of memory. Woah i havent been checking this tread for a while i thought everyone just ignored freak - yer im thinking about doing that some time well i kind of need better bit maps anyways because i cant get the right brushed metal look im not good with image editing, im only in yr 9 (or was im on holidays now) and have been using pro/desktop for a year at school (i do tech drawing and they have a CAD component and im heaps ahead of the class and the teacher so im figuring things out myself) but i have found out that i can stretch out the bit map to cover and area eliminating the need for tiling but the mesh in on the front isn't quite right and the circle turn into ovals a i got pro/desktop 8.0 at school its the full version.For work I used AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.
