I'm building myself, this will be the second computer that I build.
What I know from experience:
- Simulation are not demanding on memory (only maxed out my 4gb 2 or 3 times on really huge project)
- they are demanding for processor (100% during 8 to 72 hours with simulation process in "real...
I'm a mechanical engineering doing heavy simulation. I currently have a 4 years old Quad core running at 2.4ghz (Q6600 if I remember correctly) with 4 gb of ram. A standard simulation can take up to 16 hours and I'd like to reduce that time to at least 4 hours.
I don't know anything about...
