To all,
I am currently running Inventor 2008 on my work machine. I have a design that I am trying to create an animation video. The problems are with respect to rendering the animation. I ultimately want 720 x 480 resolution at 30 FPS for customer presentations. This is a profile of my PC:
Operating System
Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (build 2600)
System Model
Board: Dell Computer Corp. 0W2563 Serial Number: ..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.Bus Clock: 800 megahertzBIOS: Dell Computer Corporation A05 02/19/2004
Processor
3.40 gigahertz Intel Pentium 48 kilobyte primary memory cache512 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Memory Modules
2048 Megabytes Installed MemorySlot 'CHANNEL A DIMM 0' has 1024 MBSlot 'CHANNEL B DIMM 0' has 1024 MBSlot 'CHANNEL A DIMM 1' is EmptySlot 'CHANNEL B DIMM 1' is Empty
Display
DameWare Development Mirror Driver [Display adapter]Microsoft SMS Mirror Driver [Display adapter]NVIDIA Quadro FX 1000 (Microsoft Corporation) [Display adapter]IBM P260 [Monitor] (19.7"vis, s/n 55-19340, October 1999)
Multimedia
SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio
I have contacted reps from Autodesk inquiring about this slow rendering and have asked if a quad core or dual core processor might speed things up. The one condition i am under is that my OS has to remain WinXP Pro SP2 32 bit.
A reply came back saying that Quad core &Dual core processors won't aid in speeding the rendering process. I challenged this to further investigation as I have run the same exact file on a 1.6 Gig processor Dual core laptop and the rendering was remakably faster.
I would appreciate any feedback recommending a Processor,Ram,VideoCard, dual core,or Quad core PC that will speed up the rendering process. If anyone can back up AutoDesk's allegations to dual or quad core processors that too would be appreciated. As I left it with the rep from Autodesk they are now not certain about multi-processors and will further investigate.
TIA
