Why do you need SSD, more ram, a better graphics card and the fastest processor with as many cores as you can get? How does Mastercam utilize these items when regenerating a toolpath, multi-threading, generating G-Code and saving a file? What purpose does each of these items play in how we get the final product and the amount of time saved? What are the benefits to using an i7 processor or a Xeon processor? Why is each one better or is one chosen for a particular task over another one? Should one consider other processors? What needs to be setup so that Mastercam can utilize each item to its fullest capability? Is it better to spend more money now on a more robust system hoping that you can get more years out of the system or is this a pipe dream? Or…spend less money and get a system that is adequate because in three years you will likely need to replace that system anyway due to changing software and hardware requirements? How does one go about determining the ROI for any priced system?
