Hi Bullines quote: Did you try using identical video cards for both machines? No! We used a highend CAD-Graphic board into the Intel system (ATI Fire GL X1 AGP-Pro 256 MB DDR-RAM (999 Euro)and a low cost NVIDIA QUADRO 4 into the AMD system. quote: Are the hard drives running at the same speed (both DMA6, or 5 or etc.)?The AMD-System was driven with a HARDWARE PROMISE RAID Contoller TX2000 (no problems with it)We don´t have any trouble with RAID 0 in our office. I think the secret of the high performance of the AMD-system ist the NFORCE2 chipset of the motherborad. If you use 2 equal RAM Modules the system access with 128 bit to the memory. The magic word is "DUAL CHANNEL DDR400" quote: What were the ambient case and CPU temperatures for each computer? The temperature of the AMD-system goes up to 65° Celsius (149°F) Fact is, the AMD-System is cheaper with more performance as the Intel System!

Just for info!! Hardware -Test: AMD XP3000+ against INTEL Pentium 4 3GHz with Mastercam v9.1 on Windows XP CPU: AMD XP 3000+ (399 Euro) ASUS Mainboard A7N8X Deluxe (LAN,Sound and RAID Controller on Board) RAM: 2 x 512MB DDR RAM 400 MHz Graphicboard: PNY Quadro4 380 XGL AGP 64MB DDR (200 Euro) CPU: Intel-Pentium IV 3,06 GHz (519 Euro) ASUS Mainboard P4G8X Deluxe (LAN,Sound und RAID Controller on Board) RAM: 4 x 512MB DDR RAM Graphicboard: ATI Fire GL X1 AGP-Pro 256 MB DDR-RAM (999 Euro) We used a capricious test part with about 5800 surfaces! 1. Rough pocket 3d (HSC) AMD - 30 Min Intel - 41 Min AMD was 26,8 % faster 2. Finish contour 3d AMD - 114 Min Intel - 170 Min AMD was 32,9 % faster 3. Finish parallel 3d AMD - 3 Min Intel - 4 Min AMD was 25 % faster We recommend our customers only graphicboards with NVIDIA chipsets. E. g. PNY Quadro4 380 XGL AGP8 64MB DDR PNY Quadro4 750 XGL AGP 128MB DDR Stefan

Hello guys, does anybody run in trouble with the tool libraries in version 9.1?? We placed the mill tl9-files on a server but If I add tool from library it takes over 15 seconds to open it. Version 9.0SP1 works fine. Does anybody have the same problem? Thanks Stefan

Hi all, the chook works only on dealer sims at the moment. I hope we will have a decision about a customer solution in the near future. If you have any requests, don´t hesitate to ask! It is possible to integrate every function of the mc main menue and you are able to configure the icon menue on your own. Kathy! The save button is a good idea!

But you can also use the shortcut to turn it on and off ALT F3 [ 11-04-2002, 05:42 AM: Message edited by: Stefan ]

Hi HM, go to the system configuration. Onto the register "sreen" you will find the parameter "CURSOR TRACKING" Stefan

Hi Mark, No, I´m not bragging. We are into the testing phase and we want to hear the customers opinion. Stefan [ 10-31-2002, 09:03 AM: Message edited by: Stefan ]

Hi guys, What do you think about a small chook, which supports the wheelmouse for zoom and dynamic rotation? You don´t have to wait for VERSION X We developed a small tool which can do that. You are also able to set up the operation and solid -manager with icons for mostly used functions. Have a look at the pictures below. Operations manager with milling functions Solids-manager What do you think about this useful tool? Regards Stefan from Germany [ 10-31-2002, 06:37 AM: Message edited by: Stefan ]
