beanus Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 can anyone tell me what a good spec would be. My work computer is a Intel Xeon CPU 2.80 GHz, 2.79GHz, 2.00 GB ram. Display adapter is NVIDIA Quadro FX 540. This seems as if it should be a fast computer but is slow copared to my home computer which is a lower spec especially when refreshing, panning or zooming. I would be gratefull for any sugestions. Quote Link to comment
brudgers Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 (edited) There are Xeons with between 1 and 6 cores and CPU's with that kind of speed. Per wikipedia, the Quadro FX 540 is based on the NV43 chip which came out in 2004, so it wouldn't surprise me if your system is a bit dated...in my opinion, it's clearly short on RAM. Your notebook appears to have better spec, as will just about any PC in the $400 and up price range. Edited November 18, 2009 by brudgers Quote Link to comment
monkey Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 i second that, its probably your RAM that needs boosting as well as your graphics card. Quote Link to comment
