  1. Has anyone had the experience of running Vectorworks on both the PC and MAC platforms? It seems the PC may be a better value so I am considering switching platforms. As I stated in an earlier post I plan on upgrading from Minicad 7 to Vectorworks Architect, and plan on purchasing a later model computer as well. Because of financial constraints I initially thought of going with a G4 EMAC. Dell Computer is offering a package that includes a Pentium? 4 Processor at 2.0GHz, 512MB DDR-SDRAM, 19” monitor and Windows XP for about $1160.00. An 800 MHz EMAC with 256 SDRAM and 17” monitor is selling for roughly $1300.00. Can anyone comment on the differences between running Vectorworks on a PC versus the MAC and whether you think the PC would be a better cost effective option. Thanks in advance.
  2. I have been using MiniCad 7 for sometime now on an old PPC. I’m thinking about upgrading to the latest version of Vectorworks including Architect and Landmark,in addition to purchasing a new or used computer. Because my financial resources are somewhat limited, I have concluded that a G3 EMAC might be a good computer to make this transition. Can someone comment on my choice of computer and provide some input with respect to the amount of RAM and the type of video card I should use. Also – the previous discussions with respect to crashes and slowness of Vectorworks 10 and OS 10 have caused me to be somewhat skittish about buying Vectorworks. Thanks in advance.
