Spec a PC

[Booger]

The app;lication I'm running is called CycloneI'm looking for a 32 bit pc that will :
Have the highest possible ram out there for modeling 3D Point Cloud data into actaual 3 D Models File sizes vary from 80 meg to 26 gig.
The absolute best Vid card on the market anyware.
Quad Dual Processors - The best on the market
1280X1024 resolution, 24-bit color or above, OpenGL 1.2 or higher.
Fast and accurate optimization & preparation of point clouds from any 3D scanning device

Well if it isn't Booger. How you been?

[Booger]

Hi silly wabbit. I've been great you know.... SSDD , and you ? Been laid lately ?

My thoughts:
You're looking at an SLI 8800 Ultra setup, high-end DDR3 RAM, an ultra high-end mobo (such as an nForce 790i), and the Intel Core Extreme QX9800 quad core.

BTW is your work paying for this or what?

[GONNAFISTYA]

Good on ya for getting a blank check.

I'd also recommend getting dual monitors as you can have many more tool/process monitor windows open instead of doing menu hopping within your application.

What are you reconstructing in the computer? Trade secret?

Give it up anyways, bitch.

Here's a link to the Cyclone software.

wouldent a app like that need the extra GPU that the Quatro's have?

rather then a consumer based product like the 8800's?

i.e.

1.5 GB memory on the 5600 and a ton of bandwidth....nice.

the best card is probably a FireGL v8600/8650

[Grudge]

indeed, you need a workstation card, not a consumer one

Oh, and more than 3GB of RAM won't do anything for you if you run a 32-bit OS

Hi booger, long time no see

Get a 64-bit CPU. They run x32 apps as fast or often faster than x32 chips anyway, because all of the fast, new chips coming out are x64.

BTW if you want raw performance for this and if it's for business use, you'll be better off investing in a mid-spec server that can house 2 or more quad-core CPUs. Assuming the application is muti-core aware.

If it isn't, then just get one of the fastest old single cores you can find. Raw speed on a single thread is higher.
