Additional System Requirements (>1,000 Parts)

(1) For installations of Inventor 2009 with single-user local ContentCenter and Autodesk Vault 2009 access. Please see the Autodesk Data Management system requirements for remote server installations for sharing ContentCenter and Vault data among multiple users.
(2) Inventor 2009 and AutoCAD® Mechanical 2009 applications are provided both as 32-bit and 64-bit applications for installation and use on the corresponding operating system only. Autodesk Vault 2009 is a 32-bit application for installation and use on either a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system. The 32-bit and 64-bit versions of these applications are all included in the same package.
(3) Autodesk Inventor/AutoCAD Mechanical design applications and Autodesk Vault must all be the same language on a given computer. English versions of these applications will run on any language operating system. Other language versions of these applications will run on operating systems of that same language.
(4) Inventor 2009 has been optimized to take advantage of the SSE2 extended instruction sets supported on Pentium 4, AMD Athlon 64, and AMD Opteron processors. Inventor 2009 will not install on computers that do not support SSE2. Several utilities are available on the internet that report CPUID including supported instructions sets.
(5) Autodesk recommends settings that allow Microsoft Windows to manage virtual memory, as needed. There should always be at least twice as much free hard disk space as system memory (RAM).
(6) Please refer to the Autodesk published graphics card information.

Hey madmatt,

Does he want new monitor, etc as well? or just pc case?

Hi Diire Just a PC at the moment I was thinking of offering a custom build of a brand name PC preferably HP

Interesting to read some of the specialized requirements...
bug reports, etc.
I'm not wild about HP printers (their preferred)-- but I have not looked at one for a while--
My first printer was an HP-- it gave good quality (photoprints)-- but the multi-color cartridges and the printer head being part of the cartridge... not the machine--turned me off them-- too expensive to operate.
Went to a Canon with 5 separate color-tanks-- much easier on the wallet and virtually zero wasted ink. Faster Black + white page-rate,too.

Edit: of course I was not printing signs on latex LOL

Do the custom build, you can buy the same parts as per the HP specs for around $1200 or $1100 if you go for the Q6600.
