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 megahertz
BIOS: Dell Computer Corporation A05 02/19/2004

Processor

 

3.40 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
512 kilobyte secondary memory cache

 

Memory Modules

 

2048 Megabytes Installed Memory

Slot 'CHANNEL A DIMM 0' has 1024 MB
Slot 'CHANNEL B DIMM 0' has 1024 MB
Slot 'CHANNEL A DIMM 1' is Empty
Slot '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

This should be an adequate configuration for mid-size assemblies. Are your normal editing operations fast enough on that particular assembly? Have you set your graphics card as Direct3D or OpenGL in Inventor?
