Jay thats a great time for a laptop- I wanted to try what you are doing before I bought my laptop, to see if a Mac was faster- but the Apple "genius" (or whatever they are) didn't want to set up that much software for a test. So, its good to see how that turned out... I might have saved some $$ with the Mac, and not given up much speed..

FWIW, I have a Xeon3370 q4 at 3.0 ghz, 4g ram, 80G SSD, FX3700 graphics. Time 3:40 in MU1. I hope to try out X4 soon..

Same times within a few percent.


Gene your Xeon E5420 is that dual core or quad core?

 

Why would this setup be faster?

I'm buying a new computer and would like to plan ahead for X4.

 

Any input will be greatly appreciated.

It appears that Mastercam users have caught a break when it comes to hardware. The new Intel i7 cpu has been out for over 6 months and cannot beat or even match the Core 2 Quad cpus with 12MB of L2 cache in the benchmark. L2 cache size seems to be what seperates the men from the boys here and i7 has only 1MB of L2 & 8MB of slower L3 cache.

 

So the break is that if your buying a new PC specifically to run Mastercam you can save money buying an older C2Q machine. At least until X4 is released but don't count on X4 makeing i7 the one to have.

Normally run a 10,000RPM Raptor but it broke. Being replaced by a 60GB solid state next week. Will run the test again then.
