System Requirements for Creo 3 with Windchill

[Radarflash]

Hello Everyone,

I am working on optimizing machine configurations for a Creo 3 environment on windows.  I have my standard specs that I have been working off of, but wanted to see what the community is recommending.  I have three configurations:

• Standard Creo with Assembly, ISDX and Surfacing on a mobile workstation.
• Standard Creo with Assembly, ISDX and Surfacing on a standard tower; and
• a Standard Creo with Simulate and Fatigue.

What do you recommend?

My recomendation:

• Standard Creo with Assembly, ISDX and Surfacing on a mobile workstation >> Dell Precision M6800

(Win 7, Processor i7, 256GB SSD HardDrive, 16BG of RAM, AMD FirePro M6100 - 2GB)

• Standard Creo with Assembly, ISDX and Surfacing on a standard tower >> Dell Precision 1700

(Win 7, Intel® Xeon® processor E3, 256GB SSD HardDrive (System Drive), 16 GB of RAM, AMD FirePro 5100)

• Standard Creo with Simulate and Fatigue (Dell Precision 1700 with 32GB of RAM - I do not test it but for Simulate is 32GB of RAM quiet )

Here you can see the result of Benchmark for Creo Parametric:

I have a nearly identical M6800 but with an NVIDIA Quadro K3100M video card.  I don't have benchmark scores, but in day to day use with Creo & SW it rocks.

Thank you Vladimir and Doug.

I have been seeing several standard configurations going to 32GB, and these configurations and benchmarks validate the approach I have been taking.

Thanks again!
