You can get Graphics cards with 64Mb of ram and cards with 1Mb ram which will do all sorts of things but may not go that well with CAD I use Matrox cards which are not exciting but work for me.

There is no point at this time in buying more than 4Gb Ram as neither of the 32 bit versions of Windows XP or Vista can handle it - I think you are better off to go for solid ram from a known maker than spend too much money on very fast stuff which is not really necessary for CAD.

Computer pundits expect that most machines will have switched to the newer Core 2 Quad processors by the 3rd Quarter of 2008, these are not quite as fast as Core 2 Duo at the moment but can handle more instructions - read the articles in ArchiCADWIKI on 64 bit processing. Intel Core 2 Duo processors go from around 2.2Ghz up to 3.0Ghz with a special Extreme 3.0Ghz model 3 times the price of the ordinary 3.0Ghz model. Solid Japanese capacitors are the latest saving grace, they apparently don't explode or leak which I didn't know they did, maybe it's just advertising but who knows ? Go for a board that holds the controllers heat sinks on with push pins, mine are held on with anchors soldered to the board and one now has a three point anchor instead of a four point which might account for the frequent blue screen's of death. Step back one from the latest all singing all dancing models and you can probably build yourself a good system at a reasonable price. Most boards also utilise DDR3 Ram which is way more expensive than DDR2.

The latest and naturally most expensive mainboars/motherboards use the Intel X38 Express / Intel ICH9R controllers with FSB speeds up to 1600Mhz and up to 12 USB ports. You have a choice between the AMD and Intel platforms, at the moment Intel appear to have the speed edge so commenting on these:.

In your first picture what does the 74/87c reading mean? Check your CCD1/2 values, if one is at 74c and the other 87c you should repaste your cooler. My 5950x has way lower temps single core, 70c singlecore, 85c multi. If your not going over 75c, you've got tones of room to go faster IMO.The answer is horses for courses and which course do you want to run, you can build a very cheap PC and update it every year or you can build an expensive one which will last several years. (I think setting a wattage limit would have the same affect? I'm not 100% sure if TDC vs wattage limit interacts different with the curve?) After 85c I believe a soft throttle starts, 25-50mhz, the hard thermal throttle is at 95c though.

I'm happy at 85c and quieter, so I leave it at TDC 150. TDC will make the biggest difference for multicore temps, without limits it'll pull 167A 247watts and 92c with my Arctic Freezer ii 280 maxed out, TDC 160 pulls around 225watts, TDC 150 is 217watts, with my curve settings. TDC 150A/EDC 200A, sustains 217watts all core at 4.55GHz/5050MHz boost max temp in my ITX case. If your up for tinkering you can adjust the limits manually to get the most speed your cooling can safely handle. I have a per core curve optimizer, takes a bit of time with 16 cores. The easiest option is to just enable PBO and check your temps. It'll reduce the voltage at any given frequency allowing it to clock up at the same voltage giving higher frequency without drawing more power. Try -5 all core, test for stability and go up by 5, most people get somewhere between -10 to -20 all core. IMOĪ negative PBO curve optimizer is what I do with mine. They can claim 142watts, but with 1 click you get what the 5950x should actually be running at. IMO the stock AMD limits are lowballed so they can claim "x" efficiency and they don't have to put "requires top tier cooling" on the box That's why PBO enabled exist and it just works and is so easy to do. If you want stock 5950x values I'd check your PBO settings, there should be a "cpu controlled" option, auto might be slightly off for some reason. Enable PBO and check if your temps are good. Your CPU has to lower its voltage/frequency to stay within those limits. Your CPU is capping at TDC 95A and EDC 140A.
